What is the record for wins in a season for Kentucky.

We have 35 right now, I know we've got to be close. Does anyone know what the record is?

I'm pretty sure this is it.....we play more games now.

We Had 34 Wins In 1996 And 35 Wins In Both 1997 and 1998.

But Back In 1948, The Wildcats Finished 36-3. That Team Won The SEC Championship, The Final Four Championship And Won the 1948 World Championships, Claiming The Gold Medal In The 1948 Olympic Games In London.

According To The UK Media Guide, 36 Is The Most Wins By The Program In One Year.

Just Got This Out Of The UK Archives...

1947-48 - Won 36, Lost 3
