The 1957 NAIA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament was held in March at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. The 20th annual NAIA basketball tournament featured 32 teams playing in a single-elimination format.〔(NAIA.org )〕 This would be the first tournament to have seeded teams. This also means that this is the first tournament to have an 'upset'. There were 3 upsets this year, including the championship game. The NAIA seeded teams 21 years prior to the NCAA Men's Tournament. The NAIA would adjust seeding to the current, 16 seed system, in 1959. The championship game featured Tennessee State University and Southeastern Oklahoma State University. With Tennessee State's win, they became the first historically black institution to win a collegiate basketball national championship.〔(NAIA History )〕 This would be the first of three national championship titles for Tennessee State. The 3rd place game featured Pacific Lutheran University defeating Eastern Illinois University. ==Awards and honors== Many of the records set by the 1957 tournament have been broken, and many of the awards were established much later: *Leading scorer est. 1963 *Leading rebounder est. 1963 *Charles Stevenson Hustle Award est. 1958 *Player of the Year est. 1994 *Most free throws made; career: ''120'' free throws made by Jim Spivey of Southeastern Oklahoma State (1954,55,56,57). *Most free throws made; single-game, team: ''48'', Southeastern Oklahoma State vs. Southwest Texas State *Most free throws made in one tournament; individual: ''68'' free throws made by Jim Spivey of Southeastern Oklahoma State (1954,55,56,57). *Most free throws made in one tournament; team: ''153'', Southeastern Oklahoma State *Most consecutive tournament victories; record start: ''18 overall, 5 in 1957'', Tennessee State, 1957-58-59-60 *Top single-game performances: ''Jim Spivey, 4th'', Southeastern Oklahoma State vs. Eastern Illinois, 20 field goals, 13 free throws and 53 total points; ''Jim Spivey 13th'', Southeastern Oklahoma State vs Southwest Texas State, 14 field goals, 18 free throws and 46 total points; ''Jim Spivey 20th'', Southeastern Oklahoma State vs. Tennessee State, 14 field goals 15 free throws and 43 total points. *All-time leading scorer; first appearance: ''Charles Sharp, 5th'' Southwest Texas State (1957,59,60) 12 games, 118 field goals, 69 free throws, 305 total points, 25.4 average per game *All-time leading scorers; second appearance: ''Dick Barnett, 3rd'', Tennessee State (1956,57,58,59) 18 games, 186 field goals, 79 free throws, 451 total points 25.1 average per game, ''Charles Curtis, 8th'', Pacific Lutheran (Wash.)
