The Kansas Jayhawks picked up a road loss on Saturday at Utah, marking another bad defeat on KU's resume. It has been a disaster campaign for Bill Self and Co., as the Jayhawks hold an 8-6 record in conference play and are on the verge of being unranked despite entering the year as the preseason No. 1 team.
Some fans were convinced the Jayhawks' woes would come to an end against a Utah squad that had won two of its last seven contests, but that was not the case. Kansas never led during the game and shot a lackluster 40% from the field, falling 74-67 in Salt Lake City.
CBB fans react to Kansas basketball's loss at Utah
The Jayhawks have hit rock bottom in February. Not only did they blow the biggest lead in program history, but they fell to their in-state rivals in Manhattan and lost a game vs. an inferior team yesterday.
At this point, the KU faithful is fed up with another underachieving group. Many fans took their frustrations to X after the game:
Kansas hasn't been vintage Kansas since before the 2023 NCAA Tournament. That's almost two years ago. Jayhawks fall to Utah in Salt Lake City.

Most of these players do not deserve to play at Kansas. Take their jersey and leave them in Utah. Remove their scholarship and stop sending NIL. This is the most selfish, carefree, lazy team I’ve ever seen at Kansas. #kubball

Unranked. Bad team. A lot of guys that don’t deserve to wear the red and blue.

Absolutely sickening.
Toughest thing about this loss is that Utah isn't a good team, and quite frankly, didn't play super well. What Utah did was outwork Kansas. Repeatedly. Outran, outmoved, outrebounded, outexecuted. You can forgive losing to a team that plays out of its mind. This wasn't that.

With Kansas loss tonight to Utah - since the start of last year, the Jayhawks are now 40-19 and 18-14 in the Big 12.

So basically they're barely a .500 team in league play. What do we think is wrong them?!
I have my takes - but curious for other perspectives.
Outrebounded, outhustled, and outcoached, Kansas loses to a bad Utah team. It is the 9th League road loss in the last two seasons to unranked teams. This Kansas team is just dreadful. Likely another road loss coming at Brigham Young.

Are we experiencing the worst team in the Bill Self era right now?

Maybe not completely IMO, but in most aspects, yes.
