The 1967 KCAC Champions rode a 12 game winning streak into a three-way tie for the KCAC Championship. KWU then beat the Ottawa Braves 85-68 to advance to the NAIA District 10 Tournament. Led by Coach Ken Cochran, the team finished 18-7 overall and 15-3 in conference battles. Much of the same squad would repeat as champions in 1968.
The 1968 KWU Basketball team captured back-to-back conference championships with an 18-7 overall record and a 15-3 conference mark.
