The 1967 NAIA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament was held in March at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Missouri. The 30th annual NAIA basketball tournament featured 32 teams playing in a single-elimination format.〔(NAIA.org )〕 There were only 3 upsets in this tournament. The championship game featured St. Benedict's College (Kan.) and Oklahoma Baptist University. The Ravens would defeat the Bison by a score of 71 to 65. The 3rd place game featured Central Washington University defeating Morris Harvey College (W. Va.) by a score of 106 to 92. 1967 was the final year of 21 straight tournaments to have a player make it on the all-time leading scorers list. The streak that began with Harold Haskins in 1947, ends with Al Tucker in 1967. A streak that peaked in the 1957 when 7 all-timers played in one tournament. And thus ends the "golden age" of NAIA basketball. ==Awards and honors== *Leading scorer: ''Al Tucker'', Oklahoma Baptist; 5 games, 164 total points including 65 field goals 34 free throws, averaging 32.8 points per game. *Leading rebounder: ''Darryl Jones'', St. Benedict’s (Kan.); in 5 games Jones would earn 62 rebounds averaging 12.4 per game. *Player of the Year: est. 1994 *All-time single game performances: ''6th''; Al Tucker, Oklahoma Baptist; Oklahoma Baptist vs. St. Benedict’s (Kan.); Tucker scored 47 points, including 21 field goals and 5 free throws. *All-time leading scorer; final appearance: ''Al Tucker, 2nd'', Oklahoma Baptist (1965,66,67); 15 games, 177 field goals, 117 free throws, 471 total points (31.4 points per game).〔(NAIA Championship History )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1967 NAIA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
