Dakota-Iowa Conference and in 2009-10 when DWU was a
member of the Great Plains Athletic Conference.
• Dakota Wesleyan has won 28 conference championships.

In 1945, DWU was invited to participate in the tournament, but
the coach declined because many basketball players were
serving in the armed services by tournament time.
• Three national tournament teams reached the quarterfinals:
1931-32 (AAU), 1938-39 and 1945-46 (NAIA).
• In 1937 and 1941, DWU finished second in the conference
but was invited to the tournament.
• In 1938, DWU finished fourth in the conference but won the
first playoff in the conference to qualify for the national
tournament.
• The first NAIA National Tournament was in 1937. Dakota
Wesleyan played the first game of that tournament, losing to
Southwestern Kansas 54-26.
• In 1939, DWU beat Texas West Teachers College, who were
billed, “The Tallest Team in the World.”
• DWU has appeared in more NAIA national tournaments (19)
than any South Dakota college.
• No South Dakota college has appeared in more consecutive
NAIA national tournaments than Dakota Wesleyan (five from
1937-41 and 2007-11).
• DWU qualified for the NAIA National Tournament in 2006-07,
2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11. This ties the
school’s longest streak from the 1936-37 season through
the 1940-41 season when Wesleyan also had five
consecutive national tournament bids.
