Using an old basketball media guide (1990-91), I found out that the last time we started 12-0 was 1950-51 season under Everett Shelton. After starting 12-0, we ended up losing ouir first game that year to........BYU in Laramie.
We finished the year at 26-11 but no post-season.
BTW, our National Title season of 1942-43 season, we only started out with a 3 game winning streak before losing first of only 2 losses that year. We lost to Duquesne in Pittsburgh in the fourth game of the year, 43-33. Our only other loss that season was against Phillips "66" and I honestly don't think it's the same team as Phillips University in Enid, Oklahoma that used to play basketball (and other sports) until 1998s when the university closed down for good.
