Conference tournaments throughout New England are underway, meaning the push for an NCAA tournament berth is full steam ahead.
Postseason dreams are still alive for a number of local programs, while others saw their 2018 campaigns come to a screeching halt. The biggest casualties so far are Boston College and UMass, both dropping their conference tournament opener to finish with a losing record. Other teams made their long-awaited return to postseason play, with both Bryant and Northeastern clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2014.
