The History of UW Basketball

Basketball is a relatively new sport, invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith It quickly gained popularity, and by the early 1900s, college basketball was well established. The University of Wyoming fielded its first team in 1903, and over the next hundred-plus years, the program would enjoy periods of great success interspersed with periods of rebuilding.

The Cowboys’ greatest period of success came in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when they won five conference championships and made three trips to the NCAA tournament Led by Head Coach Everett Shelton, UW compiled a record of 1948-49 and 1949-50. They followed that up with a trip to the 1950 NCAA Tournament where they defeated Toledo in the first round before losing to Kentucky in the second round.

UW’s next period of dominance came under head coach Jim Brandenburg, who led the Cowboys to nine consecutive winning seasons from 1976-77 to 1984-85. That included five trips to the NCAA tournament highlighted by a run to the Sweet Sixteen in 1982-83. The Cowboys would make one more trip to the NCAA tournament under current Head Coach Dave Bliss in 1987-88 before enduring a string of losing seasons in the 1990s.

In recent years UW has returned to prominence under Head coach Larry Shyatt. The Cowboys have won four consecutive conference championships and made three trips to the NCAA tournament since Shyatt took over in 2011-12. They will look to continue their success against Wyoming on Saturday afternoon.
