The Kansas Jayhawks and the Syracuse Orange have only crossed paths a handful of times, primarily during the NCAA Tournament. Kansas holds the upper hand in their head-to-head matchups, including a memorable victory in the 2003 national championship game. Their games are often unforgettable, especially with Syracuse’s zone defense going up against Kansas’s dynamic offense. While they may not face off regularly, the stakes are always high when they do meet.
