College Beat: Too little, too late for St. Francis Terriers in Albany
With each missed shot, St. Francis Brooklyn men’s basketball coach Glenn Braica grew more astounded.
Hoping to enter their weekend showdown at Boston College with a .500 record, the Terriers (2-4) apparently forgot how to put the ball in the basket during the first 10 minutes of their eventual 78-74 loss at the University of Albany on Wednesday night before a crowd of 2,542 at SEFCU Arena.
St. Francis Brooklyn missed its first 15 shots of the contest, falling behind 18-0 before senior forward Travis Nichols came off the bench and made a layup with 9:40 to play in the opening stanza. Nichols finished with a team-high 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting, but as for the rest of the Terriers, their early game shooting woes proved too much to overcome as St. Francis dropped its second in a row.
