    The 1974

    Morgan State University and Morgan State's Marvin Webster
    was the Most Outstanding Player.

    This was the first tournament to be officially designated as a Division II basketball championship. The NCAA first split into competitive divisions for the 1956–57 school year, creating the top-level University Division and second-tier College Division. Effective with the 1973–74 school year, the NCAA adopted the three-division system that exists to this day. The University Division was renamed Division I, while the College Division was split into Division II and the non-scholarship Division III. Since the Division III basketball tournament would not be played until 1975, the 1974 Division II tournament included Division III teams despite the name.
