Format
For the seventh straight year, the NEC Men's Basketball Tournament will consist of an eight-team playoff format with all games played at the home of the higher seed. After the quarterfinals, the teams will be reseeded so the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed in the semifinals. Bryant is in transition to D-I and remains ineligible for any post-season tournaments and thus not allowed to participate.Bracket
