Kansas is revving up for a historic showdown with Duke in the Blue Blood Classic on October 25th, kicking off a new home-and-home rivalry series. After facing Pittsburg State and Louisville in preseason, the Jayhawks will host Duke at Allen Fieldhouse — a venue steeped in legend, home to the iconic “Beware of the Phog” banner. Duke, who recently defeated Kansas in the Champions Classic and leads the all-time series 7-9, returns to Lawrence for the first time since 1988. The matchup marks the start of a two-year series, with Duke heading to Cameron Indoor Stadium in October 2027 — a big moment for coach Bill Self. Following these tough exhibition games, Kansas opens the regular season on November 2nd against Fordham, aiming to enter the season battle-tested and hungry for another championship run.
