The 2016 Northeast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament will be held in March. The tournament features the league's top eight seeds, with higher seed hosting all games. The 2016 champion will earn an automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Tournament.

Format

For the twelfth 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.[1]

Seeds

Teams are seeded based on the final regular season standings, with ties broken under an NEC policy.[2]
