The Northeast Conference Tournament was defined by the season of Merrimack who won the NEC in their first year as a Division 1 program. While the regular-season title awards rightfully go to Joe Gallo and Merrimack, the Conference Tournament will not see Merrimack. What the league tournament will have is a potential NBA player in Isaiah Blackmon who has been tearing it up for St. Francis (PA) this year. Robert Morris enters in as the top seed, they will certainly have a good chance to win the league title as well. This league tournament expects to be really fun, so let’s get to some picks for the conference tournament.
