First 30-win regular season in UK history?

The top regular season win totals in UK history:
1) 29-2 (2010)
2) 27-1 (current)
2) 27-2 (1948)
2) 27-4 (1997)
5) 26-1 (1996)
5) 26-3 (2003)
5) 26-3 (1986)
8) 25-0 (1954)
8) 25-1 (1949)
8) 25-1 (1970)
8) 25-2 (1978)


UK has exactly 3 games remaining, so they have to stay perfect to set the new school mark. 


They wouldn't be the first in NCAA Division I history to accomplish it, however.  


Examples I've found of 30+ win regular seasons:
1987 UNLV (30-1)
1998 Kansas (30-3)
2008 Memphis (30-1) (now vacated)


I will add to this list as I research this further.  You'd be surprised by how inconsistent/inaccurate various sources can be on a question like this.
