The 1987-88 Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball team represented the University of Kansas for the NCAA Division I men's intercollegiate basketball season of 1987-1988. The team won the 1987-1988 NCAA Division I men's basketball championship, the second in the school's history. They were led by Larry Brown in his fifth season as head coach. Their star player, Danny Manning, earned the team the nickname "Danny and the Miracles," along with the Jayhawks' improbable tournament run after an 11-loss season, the most ever by a national champion. The team played its home games in Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas. In the last three games of the NCAA tournament, the Jayhawks avenged their three home losses to Kansas State, Duke, and Oklahoma.
