College basketball tournament
The 1962 NAIA men's basketball tournament was held in March at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. The 25th annual NAIA basketball tournament featured 32 teams playing in a single-elimination format. It would be the last tournament without a formal leading scorer and rebounder awards presented. This was also the first tournament since seeding began to feature the top two teams in the Championship Game. The number 2 seeded Prairie View A&amp;M (Texas) beat Westminster (Pa.) 62 to 53.

Many of the records set by the 1962 tournament have been broken, and many of the awards were established much later:
