The 1908–09 Chicago Maroons men's basketball team represented the University of Chicago in intercollegiate basketball during the 1908–09 season. The team finished the season with a 12–0 record[1] and was retroactively named the national champion by the Helms Athletic Foundation and the Premo-Porretta Power Poll.[2][3] This was the third consecutive season for which Chicago was later named the Helms national champion.[2] The team played their home games on campus at Frank Dickinson Bartlett Gymnasium.
Both Pat Page and John Schommer were named All-Americans, while Schommer was also named the Helms Foundation National Player of the Year.[4] For Schommer, it was his fourth consecutive All-American honor; for Page, it was his second (the following season, he would earn his third and also be named the Helms Foundation College Basketball Player of the Year).
