The other finalists in this year's Elite Eight included: Alabama State, Benedict College, Chicago State University, Morehouse College, North Carolina Central University, and Spelman College. Oakwood University team member Greg T. Edouard was selected as a divisional all-star. As a 2016 Quarter Finalist with an All-Star player, Oakwood's grant this year is $11,000.
