Tournament Overview
For the tenth 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.
NEC Tournament quarterfinal play commences on Wednesday, March 5, followed by the semifinal round on Saturday, March 8. One men's quarterfinal game will air on MSG+2, FCS and Root Sports Pittsburgh. Both men’s semifinal games will be televised on MSG+ and FCS. The championship game, to be televised by ESPN or ESPN2, will be contested on Tuesday, March 11 at 7:00 pm.
The NEC’s return to a playoff format in 2005 came after an eight-year absence that saw the league’s annual postseason tournament contested at one campus site (1999), at a municipal arena (2000-01) and at a single campus site for the quarterfinals and semifinals, followed by the highest remaining seed hosting the championship game (1998, 2002-04). The conference had previously employed a high-seed hosting format from 1991-97, though teams were not reseeded after the quarterfinals as the tournament is currently constructed.
Ticket Information
Prices throughout the quarterfinals and semifinals are $10 for adults, $5 for students with college I.D. and children between the ages of 5 and 18 years of age.
