Talk:1940 NAIA Men's Basketball Tournament
From Varsity Pride
Early versions of this page erroneously had Central State (OK) (now Central Oklahoma) losing in the first round to San Diego State. This is also how the game is listed within the NAIA's annual results for the tournament. However, the contemporary reports in the St Joseph Gazette for March 12-13 1940 listed San Diego State's opponent as East Central, which reconciles a difference in the NAIA's own documents -- as their register of teams competing in the tournament the NAIA lists East Central as appearing in the 1940 tournament, and does not list Central State/Central Oklahoma.
