•   The association first began in 1937 as a result of a small-college basketball tournament.  Originally called the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB), it later became known as the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in 1952.

•   The NAIA includes 260 Colleges and Universities competing in a variety of sports (not all compete in basketball).  There are 23 National Championships throughout the academic year in basketball, football, baseball, outdoor track and field, indoor track and field, golf, tennis, cross country, diving and swimming, wrestling, soccer, gymnastics, volleyball and bowling. Not all schools compete in all sports.
•   The NAIA National Basketball Championship Tournament is held each year for both men and women in Division I and Division II.  A general description of the NAIA Tournament can be found on the Tournament Information page.  An explanation of how the teams are selected can be found at the Qualification Process page.
•   The 23rd Annual NAIA D2 Men's National Basketball Tournament will be held March 12-18, 2014, at College of the Ozarks, Point Lookout, MO (near Branson, MO).  The Foresters have been there seven different years, reaching the "Championship Game" in 2006, the "Final Four" in 2000, the "Elite Eight" in 2003 and the "Sweet Sixteen" in 2001 and 2004.  To qualify once again, the Foresters must either win the 2013 CL Tournament Championship or have a sufficiently high NAIA Final Rating to be assigned an "At Large" berth.
•   Teams favored for the NAIA D2 National Tournament appear in the NAIA D2 Coaches' Poll.  Additional comparisons are made by this site by showing national statistical system ratings and by calculating RPI and Strength of Schedule (SoS) per NCAA published methods.

Massey BCS System Ratings

Massey MOV System Ratings
The Wolfe System uses win/loss, game location and strength of schedule; the Rothman System uses win/loss and points margin; the Massey System uses win/loss, game location, strength of schedule, and points margin.  The RPI system uses win/loss, game location, opponent's win/loss and game location, and win/loss of their opponents.

•   The Tournament Qualification process begins in some conferences when the Regular Season champions are known.  The process concludes when the last conference tournament game is completed.  Results are reported daily on the NAIA web site starting late February.
