2016 NEC Tournament winner

The 2016 Northeast Conference Men's Basketball Tournament was held from March 2–8, 2016. The tournament featured the league's top eight seeds, with higher seed hosting all games. The winners of the tournament, Fairleigh Dickinson, will receive the conference's automatic bid to the 2016 NCAA Tournament. This is Fairleigh Dickinson's fifth Championship.

For the twelfth straight year, the NEC Men’s Basketball Tournament consisted of an eight-team playoff format with all games played at the home of the higher seed. After the quarterfinals, the teams were reseeded so the highest remaining seed plays the lowest remaining seed in the semifinals.

Teams were seeded based on the final regular season standings, with ties broken under an NEC policy.

Teams were reseed after each round with highest remaining seeds receiving home court advantage.

All games will be played at the venue of the higher seed
