Information initially posted by Bob Vetrone Jr. on Twitter in 2020 with my very own additions for the seasons past.

• 1 seed (5): 2011, 2012, 2017, 2020, 2022

• 4 seed (3): 2014, 2018, 2021
• 3 seed (1): 2013

With the No. 1 and a couple of seeds successful eight of the final 11 titles, mayhem potential is low within the NEC. Enjoying completely on the upper seeds’ dwelling flooring has lowered the potential for groups seeded decrease than fourth to make a lot noise.

Years with an NCAA win are in daring.

• 15 seed (1): 2011
• 16 seed (9): 2012, 2013 (First 4), 2014 (First 4), 2015 (First 4), 2016 (First 4), 2017 (First 4), 2018 (First 4), 2019 (First 4), 2021 (First 4), 2022 (First 4)

The NEC champion has performed within the First 4 eight occasions because the area expanded to 68 groups. Within the 10 editions of the NCAA Event by which there was a single opening spherical sport, the NEC solely participated twice—wins by Monmouth in 2006 and Mount St. Mary’s in 2008. New America East member Bryant gained its First 4 sport in its first—and solely—NCAA look as an NEC member. Mount St. Mary’s, now within the MAAC, misplaced in Dayton in 2021.

Fairleigh Dickinson: 2019 (16 seed, 1st Spherical)
LIU: 2018 (16 seed, First 4)
Central Connecticut State: 2007 (16 seed, 1st Spherical)
Wagner: 2003 (15 seed, 1st Spherical)

Sacred Coronary heart and St. Francis Brooklyn have by no means certified, with the Terriers being one of many 4 authentic Division I members that has by no means completed so.

Merrimack should wait till subsequent season to be eligible regardless of their participation this time round.
