The 2022 PenFed Patriot League Basketball Conference Tournament is set to begin on March 1.

The Patriot League will stage the 32nd edition of the conference’s postseason tournament, starting with a pair of first-round matchups on Tuesday. Quarter-final action will take place on March 3.

The semi-finals will take place on March 6, while the championship contest won’t take place until March 9. The higher seed of each contest will host the games.   ESPN+ will broadcast the first and quarterfinal rounds before CBS Sports Network takes over. Here is a link to the tournament bracket.

Top-seeded Colgate (20-11) is the reigning two-time conference champion. Colgate defeated Loyola Maryland 85-72 in the conference final last year. The Raiders have captured four conference tournament crowns, although they still trail Bucknell and Holy Cross in that department, with both programs capturing six championships each.

Navy is the No. 2 seed, followed by Boston University, Lehigh, Army, and Loyola. Holy Cross is the seventh seed and will host No. 10 American in one of the first-round matchups while No. 8 Lafayette will host No.9  Bucknell in the other opening-round contest.
