I'm doing a bit of research on the team but I cant seam to find the actual schedule from the 1942-1943 season. I know I've seen one on the internet before but Ive been searching for the past 2 hours and have come up empty. I was wondering if anybody here had any ideas on where to find it. Thanks for any help you can provide.
The most I've ever found on that subject is this.
Overall: 31-2, .939 W-L% (4th of 161)
Conference: 4-0, 1st in MSAC
Coach: Everett Shelton (31-2)
NCAA Tournament:
Won West Regional Semifinal (53-50) versus Oklahoma
Won West Regional Final (58-54) versus Texas
Won National Final (46-34) versus Georgetown
Red Cross game
St. John's won the National Invitation Tournament that same year and claimed it was better than Wyoming and that the NIT was a better tournament than the NCAA.Ev Shelton talked Ned Irish, the promoter at Madison Square Garden, into hosting a showdown game, with proceeds going to the Red Cross. Two days after winning the NCAA Championship, Wyoming played NIT Champion St. John's in a Red Cross benefit game for the war effort. Wyoming beat St. John's in overtime by a score of 52–47, in Madison Square Garden.
