Kansas head coach Mark Mangino says he and his team are focused on a win in today's Border Showdown against Missouri.

Many wonder what Mangino's future at Kansas will be after today's game. The Jayhawks, coming off a six-game losing streak, need a win against Missouri to stay bowl eligible.

In addition, Mangino has been the center of controversy following recent allegations questioning his conduct towards players. The university says it is conducting an internal investigation into the complaints.

Mangino told reporters this week he is not letting the investigation keep him or the team from moving "full-speed ahead."

"I can tell you that I am going strong and I am really focused on Missouri," Mangino said. "The players are as well. We want to get bowl eligible. Believe me, the focus of the team and coaching staff has not wavered."

The Jayhawks will play Missouri at 2:30 inside Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium. ABC and KAKE-TV will broadcast the game.
