Last season KU went 2-2 at Kemper Arena, beating Connecticut and Kansas State while losing to Virginia and Iowa State. Utah, under Rick Majerus, went 28-6 and reached the NCAA second round after WAC title runs. Utah plus Ben Caton injury update and prior nonconference Kemper success shape the matchup.
