Terriers dream season ends with NIT loss to Richmond
SFC Comes Up Just Short Against Top-Seeded Spiders in NIT
It was a season that will go down as perhaps the finest in the modern history of the St. Francis Brooklyn men’s basketball program.
But it came to a disappointing end Wednesday night in Virginia, as the eighth-seeded Terriers suffered an 84-74 loss to No. 1 seed Richmond in the opening round of the NIT Tournament before 3,624 fans at the Robins Center.
Senior guard Brent Jones bid farewell to Downtown Brooklyn with a 19-point effort, including 17 in the second half, when the Terriers (23-12) cut a 12-point deficit to two with just under three minutes remaining.
