Utah’s first season in the Big 12 Conference has not gone entirely well, but the Utes have another chance to notch a quality win Saturday night when an inconsistent Kansas team comes to Salt Lake City.The 17th-ranked Jayhawks (17-7, 8-5 Big 12) have alternated wins and losses over their last seven games. Coming off a 71-59 home victory over Colorado on Tuesday, Kansas is out to end that trend.Coach Bill Self has a simple solution.”I think we should make more, turn it over less and rebound better,” he said. “I think if we did those three things offensively, we’d be much more efficient.”We went 6-of-21 (from 3-point range against Colorado), and we counted between eight and 10 wide-open looks that we turned down. Do we want to shoot those shots? Absolutely. We want to take whatever the defense gives us, and we think our guys are good enough to that.”The Jayhawks certainly have the talent to validate their coach’s belief, as Kansas ranks in the top 50 in Division I in field-goal percentage (47.8) and rebounding margin (plus-4.9).Hunter Dickinson leads the Jayhawks in both scoring (16.6 points per game) and rebounding (9.6 per game). He paced Kansas with 19 points and nine boards in Tuesday’s win.Zeke Mayo adds 15.0 points per game, while Dajuan Harris (9.6 points, team-high 5.8 assists per game) and KJ Adams Jr. (8.5 ppg) also contribute.Utah (13-11, 5-8) lost its second straight game Tuesday at Cincinnati, falling 85-75. Gabe Madsen tied his season-high with 28 points, just three shy of his career high. He started 8-of-15 from 3-point range before going 0-of-7 in the final 8:13.
