Nightmare on Remsen Street for Terriers
Hagigal arrest latest in series of ugly off-the-court incidents
Two arrests, two critical losses and too much negative attention for what was once the feel-good story of the year in Downtown Brooklyn.
The St. Francis men’s basketball team, seemingly on the verge of an historic breakthrough season, has turned into the Nightmare on Remsen Street over the past week, with freshman guard Sheldon Hagigal’s arrest on sex-abuse charges serving as the latest black eye for coach Glenn Braica’s troubled team.
Hagigal, who was named the Northeast Conference’s Rookie of the Week on Feb. 10, was suspended by the team after becoming the fifth Terrier in the past week to be sidelined indefinitely.
