The 2007 Northeast Conference men's basketball tournament was held on March 1, 4 and 7. The tournament featured the league's top eight seeds. The tourney opened on Thursday, March 1 with the quarterfinals, followed by the semifinals on Sunday, March 4 and the finals on Wednesday, March 7. Central Connecticut won the championship, its third, and received the conference's automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Tournament.[2]
For the third 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.
