The 1997-98 Park men's basketball team made one of the most historic runs in the history of the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship, winning three times as a No. 15 seed at Tulsa's Mabee Center to reach the NAIA Fab Four. The 1997-98 Pirates won 27 games and had two All-Americans, coached by legendary head coach and administrator Claude English. In the tournament, Park upended Saint Mary's of Texas, Phillips, of Oklahoma, and Saint Vincent from Pennsylvania, before ending the year against Southern Nazarene.
