^A. On September 28, 1961, the Big Eight Conference ruled that Colorado would have to forfeit all of their conference wins since Colorado player Wilky Gilmore played in organized summer league outside of college in the summer of 1960.

^B. Joe Harrington coached the first 14 games of the season, going 5–9 and 0–3 in conference play before resigning. Ricardo Patton was named interim coach and went 7–20 and 3–13 in conference for the remainder of the season. [1]
