The 1958 senior class starring Jack McCarthy, Don Lane and Bucky Bockhorn, owns the best career winning percentage (.817). Dayton played 26 regular-season games during that era. Teams now play 30. Of course, freshmen didn’t play then, so those seniors were only on the court for the last three years.
