The championship game featured Southwest Missouri State, now Missouri State University, who defeated Murray State, 73–64.
Finishing out the NAIA Final Four, and playing for the 3rd place game were Southwest Texas State, now Texas State University–San Marcos, and Portland. The Bears of Southwest Missouri State defeated the Pilots of Portland, 78–68.
