LIU Sharks still breathing, but barely
Can still qualify for NEC Tournament if Bryant bows out
If this had been a normal Northeast Conference season, not one littered with COVID-19-related testing, postponements, cancellations and postseason alterations, both St. Francis Brooklyn and Long Island University would have qualified for this weekend’s NEC Men’s Basketball Tournament.
As it stands now, Brooklyn Heights’ Terriers are out and Downtown Brooklyn’s Sharks still have an outside shot at participating in March Madness.
With identical conference records of 9-9, the Sharks and Terriers finished tied for sixth place in the league standings, meaning both would have made the NECs under the long-time eight-team format.
