There are more than 8 teams in the NEC. Sacred Heart and Bryant did not qualify for the NEC tournament. The NEC only takes the top 8 teams. Only one of a handful of conferences where every team doesn't get the chance to participate.

I don't really have a preference in this tournament, whoever wins is likely fodder for another team. Might not make it out of the first 4

Wagner is the only team in the conference that can avoid Dayton, and even that's not a sure thing. If they don't win it, the NEC representative will be assured of being in Dayton again for the 6th straight season.

I agree, most likely the winner is in Dayton. Mt. St Mary's I forgot they won their first 4 game last year and gave Nova a scare

that being said I don't know if the winner will even get out of Dayton

Yeah, they did. I follow Mt. Saint Mary's a little closer than most, because I live only about 20 minutes from their campus, and they could have been a really dangerous team if not for losing a ton of guys to transfer to play in P5 leagues. Elijah Long transferred to Texas, Miles Wilson transferred to Miami and Mawdo Sallah transferred to Kansas State. Christon is a really, really good coach.

Ouch that's rough, still impressive they managed to be 2nd in the league

There's a really good chance they meet in the semi's. Only way they can meet in the finals is if Mount or St Francis U gets upset in the quarters, which could obviously happen, but it's less likely with they top 4 getting home games.

I think Fairleigh Dickinson upsets St. Francis U. I can't see MSM getting beat in the first round but crazier things have definitely happened.

I don't care for these tourneys where they have such a big break in between dates.

Damnit. RMU beats Mt. St. Mary's in the Quarters. I think The Mount got robbed on a missed call in the final seconds, but I'm not 100% sure.

Championship game Tuesday night.

LIU Brooklyn vs. Wagner

I think Wagner takes it but it would be great to see LIU Brooklyn back in the tournament.

The silver lining in a possible Wagner loss, is they have an automatic NIT invite due to winning the reg. season NEC title.
