The United East Men's Basketball Tournament is the annual conference basketball championship tournament for the NCAA Division III United East Conference. The tournament has been held annually since the conference was founded in 2005 as the North Eastern Athletic Conference. In 2021 the title was changed to United East for the 2021-22 season. It is a single-elimination tournament and seeding is based on regular season records.[1]
