The Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball program is the intercollegiate men's basketball program of the University of Kansas Jayhawks and is one of the most successful and prestigious programs in the history of basketball. The program is classified in the NCAA's Division I and the team competes in the Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks' first coach was the inventor of the game, James Naismith. The program has produced some of the game's greatest professional players (including Clyde Lovellette, Wilt Chamberlain and Paul Pierce) and most successful coaches (including Phog Allen, Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith).



In 2008, ESPN ranked Kansas second on a list of the most prestigious programs of the modern college basketball era. In the past 25 seasons, no team has been more dominant than the Jayhawks, with 707 wins between the 1985-86 & 2009-10 seasons. Kansas has the longest current streak of consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (21), the longest current streak of consecutive home wins (59), the second-longest current streak of winning seasons (27), the most winning seasons in Division I history (91), the most conference championships in Division I history (53), the most first-team All Americans in Division I history (20), and third most wins in Division I history (2,003).
