Fun Facts
Kansas has won two in a row and five of the last six meetings with Duke.
KU has won eight of its last nine Champions Classic matchups, including five in a row. KU is 9-5 in the event all-time, which is the best record of the four participants (Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State).
In the Bill Self era, KU is 131-82 against AP Top 25 teams. However, since 2022-23, KU is just 11-10 against such opponents.
According someone on Soren Petro’s radio show today, Kansas hasn’t been a double-digit underdog since 2000. (If true, that’s absolutely insane.)
