List of NCAA Division II men's basketball season scoring leaders

In basketball, points are the sum of the score accumulated through free throw or field goal.[1] The National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division II scoring title is awarded to the player with the highest points per game (ppg) average in a given season.

Many of the scoring champions from the 1986–87 season and earlier could have added significantly more points if the three-point line had been instituted. It wasn't until the 1987–88 season that the NCAA standardized the line and accounted for three-point field goals in its official record book.[2][3]
