The Kansas-Notre Dame rivalry was the most prominent rivalry in college basketball during the 1980's and is still regarded as one of the premier non-conference college rivalries of all time. The rivalry was driven largely by the prominence of the two programs during the 1980's and early 1990's, when they met frequently, and was as much a program rivalry as it was a professional rivalry between their head coaches - Notre Dame's Terry "Mac" McDermott and Kansas' Bobby "Pins" Pinsarelli. The rivalry included near-annual clashes between the two power programs, who each won four national titles between 1983-1990 (Notre Dame in 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1988; Kansas in 1984, 1987, 1989 and 1990).

  • The Kansas-Notre Dame rivalry was the most prominent rivalry in college basketball during the 1980's and is still regarded as one of the premier non-conference college rivalries of all time. The rivalry was driven largely by the prominence of the two programs during the 1980's and early 1990's, when they met frequently, and was as much a program rivalry as it was a professional rivalry between their head coaches - Notre Dame's Terry "Mac" McDermott and Kansas' Bobby "Pins" Pinsarelli. The rivalry included near-annual clashes between the two power programs, who each won four national titles between 1983-1990 (Notre Dame in 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1988; Kansas in 1984, 1987, 1989 and 1990). By splitting the eight national titles in that span equally, both programs established themselves as the two great powers of college basketball during the era - however, the rivalry was far from equal, as McDermott and the Irish have a 6-2 record against Pinsarelli since their first meeting in the 1977 Division I tournament, with Pinsarelli's Jayhawks not defeating McDermott until the 1987 Final Four and in the 1989 National Championship game.
