Brian Fincham of Faith Baptist Bible College earned the 2026 Division II Men's Basketball Coach of the Year. The full list of award winners can be found at the DII Men's Basketball awards page here.

Joseph Allen was a double-double machine for Spurgeon this year, helping the Knights to a 24-3 overall record, a Central Region Championship, and the number one overall seed going into the NCCAA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship. Allen finished the year fourth in the NCCAA in scoring at 20.2 points-per-game and first with 11.7 rebounds-per-game. Out of the 26 games Allen played for Spurgeon he recorded a double-double in 16 contests. Allen went on a streak this season where he tallied double-doubles in seven straight games, with his season best mark being 36 points and 20 rebounds. He is an efficient shooter, shooting just over 50% from the field and 40% from behind the arc. Allen becomes just the second player in Spurgeon program history to earn the NCCAA National Player of the Year honor.
