The most interesting thing about the Modern Era and One and Done Era stats is that Kansas is the only team that has a better record than Duke and in the Modern Era stats there’s only a 1 win and 1 loss difference between Duke and Kansas with Kansas having 1 more win and 1 less loss than Duke.
Yup, Duke and KU have ruled the modern and one and done era, but Duke has had more postseason success in both eras.
Duke and KU have certainly been consistent over the last 30 years. What’s impressive about both is KU has done it under 3 different coaches (Brown, Roy, Self) and K has done it in THE most competitive basketball conference in college basketball.
The funny part is Duke has a better conference record in the ACC than KY does in the dumpster fire that is the SEC (OAD era).
