The 1982 NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament involved 32 schools playing in a single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division II college basketball as a culmination of the 1981âÂÂ82 NCAA Division II men's basketball season. It was won by the University of the District of Columbia and UDC's Michael Britt was the Most Outstanding Player.
This was the first NCAA D-II basketball tournament to contain the word "Men's" in its official title, as the NCAA held its first D-II women's championship in that season.
