Texas best conference play start ever?

[hornpharmd]

Watching the game last night they mentioned that this was the 1st time Texas has started conference play 8-0 and won all games by double digits.

Well, after beatin OU last night, Texas is 9-0 and has beaten all 9 teams by double digits. Margin of victory for those 9 wins is an eye popping 17.9 points/game!!

Included in those 9 wins are wins against:
#2 Kansas (on the road ending their 69 game home court winning streak)
#19 Missouri
#22 A&M (twice, at home and on the road)

Does anybody know if Texas has ever started Big 12 play as well as this before? Or if Texas has ever run the table in the Big 12 before?

I am trying to hold my expectations in check this year, b/c we have played a few ranked OOC teams and they have been close games:
Lost to #4 Pitt by 2
Lost to #10 UConn by 1
Beat #20 North Carolina by 2

Only one team has run the table in the Big 12, and if I recall correctly, it was the 2003 Kansas squad.

Texas has never started better than 3-0 or 4-0 in Big 12 conference play, I think. We certainly have never started 9-0 in the Big 12 with all wins coming by double digits.

2002 Kansas did not lose a conference game until the Tourney finals against OU.

Well Texas gets the win against Baylor but ends the double digit streak at 9 games. 10-0 in conference with games upcoming against OSU, at Nebraska, and against Iowa St.
