Format
For the sixth 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. This is Bryant's first year at D-I and is ineligible for any post-season tournaments and thus not allowed to participate.
