Preseason second-ranked Duke will play No. 17 Kansas at Lawrence on Sunday in their first on-campus meeting since 1988.

Preseason second-ranked Duke will face No. 17 Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence on Sunday, marking only the second on-campus meeting between the two storied programmes in their history.

The teams have played just 16 times overall. Their last meeting in Lawrence was in February 1988, when Duke won 74-70 in overtime. Kansas gained revenge six weeks later, defeating Duke in the Final Four; that Kansas team, known as 'Danny and the Miracles', went on to win the national championship.

Kansas coach Bill Self indicated the importance of the matchup after a similar exhibition game against Louisville. 'Of course I'd love to win, no question,' he said.
