The Ivy League Men's Basketball Tournament is the conference tournament in basketball for the Ivy League. It is a single-elimination tournament will involve the top four schools in the standings. The format the tournament will be two semifinal games on the first day (Saturday) with the No. 1 seed playing the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed playing the No. 3 seed, followed by the championship game played the next day (Sunday). The tournaments' winners will receive the League's automatic bids to the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. The teams that finish with the best records from the 14-game, regular-season conference schedule will continue to be recognized as Ivy League champions, and that champion fails to win the tournament, will be invited to the National Invitational Tournament, per NCAA policy on regular season champions, should they fail to receive an NCAA bid.[1]

Prior to the formal tournament, the Ivy League used a one-game playoff if necessary to break ties eight times with two teams, and in 2001-02, a three-team tournament, in order to settle the conference championship.
