The field expanded to sixty-four teams allocated across four sectionals, however, this would only last for three tournaments (The sixty-four team field did not return after 1997 until 2017). The national semifinals, third-place final, and championship final were contested in Buffalo, New York.
Wisconsin–Platteville defeated Manchester, 69–55, in the final, clinching their second national title (and first since 1991).
The Pioneers (31–0) were led by future Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan and were the first men's Division III program to complete an undefeated season since Potsdam in 1986.
