I am not doing any math. You guys just tell me and I will believe any of you. Hopefully it is Ben, Sterling, and Wilfong

I did this calculation a couple of days ago on Scout. I think Butch Moore probably had the record at 85 wins-Carl Wright would have been in that class but I think he missed some games. Sterling Brown is standing on 93 wins right now and Ben one less due to his 1 game suspension.

Koncak/Larry Davis Class only won 6 games their first year

They play hard and work hard every night. Can't ask for anything more than that. Nothing but appreciation for both guys.

This might help...just consider that our win totals from our best stretches sandwiched around consecutive 20 win seasons have been:

1954-55 - 15 1982-83 - 19 2013-14 - 27
1955-56 - 26 1983-84 - 25 2014-15 - 27
1956-57 - 22 1984-85 - 23 2015-16 - 25
1957-58 - 15 1985-86 - 18 2016-17 - 14 wins and counting

The 1987-88 team was the "winningest" team in our history with 28 wins, but that season was sandwiched between 16 and 13 win seasons, so Ben & Sterling's win totals are going to easily pass anyone's from our previous history

Brown and Sterling are both awesome, any accolades they've earned are well deserved.

Yeah I think Sterling must have the record.

Hopefully this becomes the new norm!

Even more impressive considering no NCAA tournament freshman year and no post season at all last year.

We are all sick but they have to live with the fact their own play stopped us from going on an NCAA run
