2002 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Tournament
The 2002 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Tournament was the 46th annual single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division II college basketball in the United States.

Officially culminating the 2001–02 NCAA Division II men's basketball season, the tournament featured forty-eight teams from around the country.

The Elite Eight, national semifinals, and championship returned to the Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville, Indiana, the home of the first twenty College Division championships between 1957 and 1976.

Metro State (29–6) defeated defending champions Kentucky Wesleyan in the final, 80–72, to win their second Division II national championship and second in three seasons. 

It was also Kentucky Wesleyan's fifth consecutive appearance in the title game (winning in 1999 and 2001), although their appearance was later vacated by the NCAA. 

The Roadrunners were coached by Mike Dunlap. Metro State's Patrick Mutombo was the Most Outstanding Player.
