The 1947 NAIA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament was held in March at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. The 10th annual NAIA basketball tournament featured 32 teams playing in a single-elimination format.〔(NAIA.org )〕 It would be the first time since 1945 the NAIA Semifinalist would feature four new teams. A feat that would not be repeated until 1965. The championship game featured Marshall University (W. Va.) defeating Mankato State (Minn.) by a score of 73 to 59. The third place game featured Arizona State-Flagstaff, now Northern Arizona University, defeating Emporia State University by a score of 47 to 38. 1947 kicks off the "golden age" of NAIA National Tournaments.
