Kansas and Duke have met 14 times, with KU winning 6, including 4 of the last 6 meetings, but one of those was lost to the 2018 DeSousa penalty.
KANSAS-DUKE SERIES (5-8*) thru 2023-10-11
Duke leads the all time series with Kansas 8-5*, with 12 of the 14 games being played on a neutral court and each program only visiting the other once.
Kansas and Duke are 2-3* in the NCAA Tournament.
Of special note is the year 1988.
The Pay Heed All Who Enter - BEWARE of "THE PHOG" banner first graced Allen Fieldhouse for the Duke game on February 20, 1988, but KU lost 74-70. The banner was taken down after the game, but returned for Danny Manning's Senior Night.
And in the NCAA Tournament that year the Jayhawks won it all, avenging earlier losses that season by beating K State in the Midwest Regional Final, Duke in the Final Four and Oklahoma in the National Championship game.
Kansas leads Duke 3-1 in the Champions Classic.
Curious fact: both Brown's and Williams' Jayhawks teams earned their respective coach's only victory against K's Blue Devils in each coach's final season at KANSAS.
* Win vacated by NCAA 2023-10-11.
**KANSAS coached by Acting HC Norm Roberts.
