We are 24-3 at this point with four regular season games left, plus the SBC tournament, and presumably plus something in post-season. Let us suppose that we lost out. That would be six straight losses and would put us as 24-9, or a winning percentage of .727.
Even if we did lost out, this would still rank among one of the best seasons in program history. Since World War II (when we began playing something resembling a full schedule), these are the only teams that bested that winning percentage:
1974 - 18-6 (.750) Happy Mahfouz
1983 - 23-6 (.793) Ron Kestenbaum
1988 - 24-7 (.774) Mike Newell
1989 - 23-8 (.742) Mike Newell
1996 - 23-7 (.767) Wimp Sanderson
2009 - 23-8 (.742) Steve Shields
So, even absolute worst case basis, this would still be the 7th best season in modern history. Not bad. That shows just how good a start we have had.
