@justinmhite: #Sooners will enter Big 12 play unbeaten for the first time since the 1989-90 season. #OU lost B12 opener that year to Kruger-led KSU.
 
The 2009 squad went 12-0 to start the season, but lost at Arkansas before winning two more non-conference games.

Fifteen non-conference games is a heckuva lot.
 
So is playing 18 conference games along with a conference tournament.

In 2009, the conference still had 12 teams so we played 16 conference games not 18

That would get you 40 games had we went to the finals of the big 12 tourney and to the championship game.
 
In the '89-'90 season, we did lose a non-conference game - at Arizona. It may have taken place after our first conference game, but we did lose. Therefore, I'm not sure we ever ran the table in non-conference action. The great '88 team lost at LSU (oops...hope I didn't just jinx us ;) ).
 
Just keep getting better. Great accomplishment and we didn't play a cupcake schedule. Big 12 title would be nice but our guys are going to have to keep improving and bring it on a nightly basis for that to happen.
