Tech is now 2-22 in AFH.
Last time Tech beat KU in AFH was 2018.
GAMES LEFT
@Houston
v Arizona
KU STREAKS STILL INTACT as of 2025-03-01
• 38-0 in AFH on Big Monday
• 41 straight Senior Game victories in AFH
• 21 straight seasons under Bill Self with at least 23 games won.
KU Streaks Broken 2024-25
• 33 straight conference opener winning streak (14 home, 19 away)
• 11-0 in AFH v WVU became 11-1 with that conference opening home game loss.
• KU had gone 21 seasons under Bill Self before losing 3 conference home games in AFH in one season.
- 2 home conference losses in 2018
- 1 home conference loss in 2005, 2006, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024 (Ʃ9 seasons)
- 0 home conference losses in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2022 (Ʃ11 seasons)
KU STREAKS POISED TO BE BROKEN
• 21 straight seasons under Bill Self with at least a 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament
1 seed - 11 times*
2 seed - 3 times
3 seed - 3 times
4 seed - 4 times
Current 2025 projections have KU as a 6 seed.
*I count 2020 despite COVID-19 because KU was #1 in the country and NO ONE with any understanding of college hoops that year would argue KU would have been anything but a 1 seed if that tournament had been held.
• KU's Senior Game winning streak from Spring 1984 through last AY -- 41 wins in a row in the last home game of the season, starting with the very first season under Larry Brown (1983-84) and continuing to this season.
For me personally I have always considered the Senior Game streak a most important streak. It really is unheard of in college hoops, and you just don't want to have your seniors lose the last KU game they ever play in AFH.
• 21 straight seasons under Bill Self with at least 23 games won.
With just 2 games to go in regular season and a possible 10 in postseason if KU would be fortunate enough to get to the title games in both tournaments, this streak has a chance to continue. If KU had won today, I would have liked the odds the Jayhawks would win at least 23 games for AY2024-25. After today I'm still a believer in the possibility, but I don't like the odds. What's that line from The Hunger Games? "May the odds be ever in your favor" - riiiiiiiight...
Rock Chalk!
