It became the Division II championship in 1974, when the NCAA split the College Division into the limited-scholarship Division II and the non-scholarship Division III, and added the "Men's" designation in 1982 when the NCAA began sponsoring a Division II women's championship. 1968 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game 1966 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game 1966 NCAA University Division Basketball Tournament Nevil Shed (born April 26, 1943 in Bronx, New York) is a former basketball player.
