Kansas runs its home-court winning streak to 30 games after victory over UC Irvine

Kansas improved its latest home-court winning streak to 30 games Tuesday, the seventh-longest streak in program history. After beating UC-Irvine, the Jayhawks haven’t lost in Allen Fieldhouse since a 61-57 defeat to San Diego State on Jan. 5, 2014.

If KU can win its next four games at home, the Jayhawks would surpass a three-way tie for the fourth-longest streak in program history.

The longest home-court winning streak in KU history is 69 games, a mark set between 2007 and 2011. The second-longest streak is 62 games, a stretch that lasted from 1994 to 1998.

The Jayhawks also won 55 straight games at Allen Fieldhouse from 1984 to 1988.

Tuesday’s victory also gave Kansas coach Bill Self his 196th all-time victory inside Allen Fieldhouse. Self is now 196-9 at Allen and is five victories from tying Roy Williams, who was 201-17 at Allen.

Former KU coach Ted Owens owns the record for all-time victories at Allen Fieldhouse, recording a 206-47 victory at home.
