Flory Bidunga's Double-Double, 7 Blocks Lift No. 11 Kansas over Utah
Kansas used a strong defensive effort led by Flory Bidunga's 17 points and seven blocks to secure their seventh consecutive win, improving to 18-5 overall, coach Bill Self said.
- On Feb 7, 2026, the Kansas Jayhawks defeated the Utah Utes 71-59 at Allen Fieldhouse, a game updated by the AP that day.
- After surrendering 12 points in four minutes, Kansas treated the game as a tune-up before Monday's meeting with No. 1 Arizona, Bill Self said.
- Bidunga's interior defense — seven blocks and a near-perfect shooting night — led Kansas sophomore forward Flory Bidunga to a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double.
- Kansas improved to 18-5 overall and 8-2 in Big 12, while Utah fell to 9-14 and 1-9, remaining without a true road win.
- With a Monday date against No. 1 Arizona looming, Darryn Peterson's 14-point, 5-for-12 night still contributed to the sluggish offense, setting the stage for the showdown.
