Duke-Kansas exhibition brings stakes to Allen Fieldhouse

Duke and Kansas are set to meet at Allen Fieldhouse in a game that will not count toward the regular-season standings but is being billed as a high-stakes event for both basketball programs.

The matchup places Duke in Kansas’ home arena and gives the teams a prominent meeting outside the games that determine their records. Allen Fieldhouse is the site of the contest.

Because the game will not count, its result will not add a win or loss to either team’s regular-season record. Its importance instead comes from the setting and the profile of the two programs involved.

The game’s potential payoff is tied to what Duke and Kansas can gain from taking part, even without a regular-season result. The event creates a notable meeting between the programs and brings that matchup to Allen Fieldhouse.
