Kentucky has compiled a lopsided 22-9 record against Kansas in head-to-head meetings between the winningest and second-winningest college basketball programs of all time.
With 2,264 victories to UK’s 2,278, however, the Jayhawks have made up some ground of late by winning six of nine games versus the Wildcats during the 16-year Bill Self era.
Self is 3-0 against Wildcat teams coached by Tubby Smith and 3-3 versus UK squads led by current coach John Calipari.
Self’s KU teams have fared much better than squads of his five predecessors. Roy Williams went 1-3 versus UK. Larry Brown was 1-2, Ted Owens 1-12, Dick Harp 0-1 and Phog Allen 0-1.
