St. Francis men’s basketball poised to make another run
SFC Brooklyn Terriers Heating Up as NEC Tournament Approaches
One year ago at this time, the St. Francis Brooklyn men’s basketball team was getting ready to make a run for the ages.
Having secured the No. 1 seed in the Northeast Conference playoffs for the first time in over a decade with a school record-tying 23 wins, the Terriers appeared poised to end their well-chronicled NCAA Tournament drought once and for all.
But after knocking off neighborhood rival LIU-Brooklyn and St. Francis University (Pa.) in the first two rounds of the single-elimination tournament, the Terriers were sent home with a heartbreaking 66-63 loss to Robert Morris in the NEC Final in front of a packed house at the Pope Center and a national television audience.
