The1997–98 Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team represented theUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison as a member of theBig Ten Conference during the1997-98 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Head coachDick Bennett completed his third season coaching with the Badgers. In the program'scentennial season, the team played its home games inMadison, Wisconsin at both theUW Field House and later theKohl Center, which the Badgers opened on January 17, 1998, with a 56–33 win over Northwestern.

Season summary

[edit]

Wisconsin was unable to build on the previous year's success during a tumultuous season. Down two of its top players by midseason, the squad struggled to shoot well consistently. The Badgers scored fewer than 50 points seven times, going winless in those games. Notably, Wisconsin let back-to-back home games slip away toIowa (79–76) andIllinois (53–47 in overtime) to start February, which dropped its season mark to 10–13. The losses were part of an 11-game Big Ten losing streak to end the regular season, which was interrupted only by a non-conference win overWisconsin-Milwaukee.

True to Bennett's style, however, the Badgers led the Big Ten in scoring defense by allowing 62.6 points per contest. Though the team failed to receive a postseason invite, the substantial minutes played by four freshman laid groundwork for thememorable tournament run to come in 2000. Wisconsin rebounded from consecutive early losses toPepperdine andPacific to beat No. 18Oklahoma andMontana to win the consolation bracket at the Big Island Invitational inHawaii. Other highlights include going 2–1 against Top 25 teams in non-conference play and christening a new arena with a win.

A No. 10 seed in the inauguralBig Ten tournament, Wisconsin opened againstPenn State inChicago. Freshman Maurice Linton's jumper in the final seconds advanced the Badgers, 52–51. In the quarterfinals, Illinois held Wisconsin to 10 points at halftime. A furious Badger comeback erased an 18-point deficit but ultimately fell short in the final six minutes.

Ty Calderwood injury

[edit]

Lingering complications from off-season knee surgery prevented Ty Calderwood from playing a single minute in 1997–98.^[1] It was a substantial blow, as a year earlier, the junior point guard led the Big Ten in steals and guided Wisconsin back to the NCAA Tournament. Calderwood was forced to take a medical redshirt. As a result, Mike Kelley became the first Badger freshman guard to start the season opener since Rick Olson in 1982.

Sam Okey's departure

[edit]

Junior forwardSam Okey was suspended by head coach Dick Bennett for the start of the campaign, including the first two regular season games, reportedly formarijuana use.^[2] Upon his reinstatement, Okey battledback spasms which caused him to miss four of the next 13 games as Wisconsin fought to an 8–7 record. Clashes over his role, work ethic and off-the-court issues came to a head on January 13, 1998, when Okey quit the team.^[3] The Badgers went 4–12 the remainder of the season. Okey transferred to theUniversity of Iowa to play his senior year.^[4]

Awards

[edit]

Sean Mason was a Honorable Mention All-Big Ten pick by the coaches and media at the conclusion of the season.

Records

[edit]

Sean Mason made the first field goal in Kohl Center history^[6] on January 17, 1998, vs. Northwestern.

A February 11, 1998 loss to Northwestern, in which he went 0-for-4 from beyond the arc, was the last game Sean Mason would fail to make a three-pointer in his Badger career. His streak of 39 straight games with a three-pointer began February 14, 1998 against Penn State and was a school record until being eclipsed by Bronson Koenig in 2016.^[7]
