Region 4 was represented by three men's basketball teams at two separate NJCAA national tournaments, with the trio combining for a 3-4 record. Bryant & Stratton College and Milwaukee Area Technical College both competed at the 2025 NJCAA Division II Men's Basketball Championships, while defending national runner-up Triton College was back at the 2025 NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championships.

In Danville, Illinois, #10-seed Bryant & Stratton College made its national tournament debut and opened play with a 79-64 loss to #7-seed Kalamazoo Valley Community College in the second round after earning a first round bye. The Bobcats picked up a win in the 7th place consolation bracket with a 72-68 decision over #15 Orange County Community College before falling 81-49 to #9-seed Florida State College at Jacksonville for 9th place overall. Bryant & Stratton College capped their season with a 29-7 record. Meanwhile, #18-seed MATC-Milwaukee was back at the national tournament, now three years removed from their run to the school's first championship. The Stormers lost 82-72 to #15 Orange County Community College in the first round, but were able to pick up a 98-92 defeat of #19 Raritan Valley Community College in a consolation game to complete a 16-18 season.

Back in Hutchinson, Kansas, after last year's run to the national title game, #15-seed Triton College lived life on the edge with a 58-55 first round victory over #18-seed Columbia State Community College. The Trojans nearly followed it up with an upset victory over #2 Cowley College in second round, but were beaten 58-57 at the buzzer to complete a 29-6 campaign.
