St. Francis Shooting for Title I
Downtown's Terriers in position to challenge for NEC Championship
For each of the past three seasons, the St. Francis Brooklyn men’s basketball team has dared to dream of capturing the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament berth while watching painfully as its Downtown rival, LIU-Brooklyn, has achieved the feat.
In 2013-14, the title-hungry program is hoping to finally take that history-making step itself, and may actually have the team to do it.
“Last year was an up and down season for us,” noted St. Francis head men’s basketball coach and Brooklyn native Glenn Braica, who has helped the Terriers to the Northeast Conference Tournament in each of his first three campaigns at the helm, following the team’s first official practice this week.
