*In 2021, Navy finished 12–1, the best regular season winning percentage and received the #1 seed in the league tournament. However, the Patriot League did not award Navy a regular season title due to the unbalanced schedule. Navy played only 5 of the other 9 teams in the league and played more than half of their league games against just two teams.
† Fordham departed the Patriot League in all sports (except football) in 1995.
