2023 Northeast Conference Tournament: Schedule, bracket, odds, game times

The Northeast Conference Tournament will be held from Wednesday, March 1 to Tuesday, March 7 at team campus sites.

Eight teams will compete in the tournament, and none of the eight get a bye from the first round. However, after the first round, the tournament is re-seeded so that the highest-seeded remaining team plays the lowest-seeded remaining team. The NEC tournament winner will get an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, and will likely be the only team from the conference to make it to the Big Dance.

If the regular season conference champion Merrimack is not the winner, they will receive an automatic berth into the 2023 NIT Tournament. Stonehill is transitioning to Division I, and will not be eligible for the NCAA, NIT, or conference tournament until 2027.
