The 2022–23 St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers men's basketball team represented St. Francis College in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Terriers, led by 13th-year head coach Glenn Braica, opened the season as members of the Northeast Conference, playing their final two home games at Daniel Lynch Gymnasium in Brooklyn Heights, New York. On November 30, 2022, the Terriers temporarily began playing their home games at the Pratt Activity Resource Center, frequently called the Pratt ARC, on the main Brooklyn campus of Pratt Institute, due to St. Francis College's move to its new campus on Livingston Street.^{[1] [2]}

The Terriers finished the season 14–16, 7–9 in NEC play to finish in a tie for seventh place. As the No. 7 seed in the NEC Tournament, they lost to Fairleigh Dickinson in the quarterfinals. On March 20, St. Francis Brooklyn announced the discontinuation of their athletic department, meaning the 2022–23 season would be the final season in school history.^[3]

Previous season

The Terriers finished the 2021–22 season 10–20, 7–11 in NEC play to finish in sixth place. As the 5 seed, they were defeated by 4 seed Mount St. Mary's in the quarterfinals of the NEC Tournament.^[4]

Final game

In what would prove to be the final men's basketball game in the history of St. Francis Brooklyn, Fairleigh Dickinson scored the first seven points and led wire to wire to complete a season sweep of three games over the Terriers with an 83–75 victory in the NEC Tournament quarterfinals. The Knights' biggest lead was 16, at 30–14, in the first half, and they led, 45–30, at halftime. The Terriers cut the deficit to four points with 1:48 to play, after an 11–4 run, led by redshirt freshman Zion Bethea, but Fairleigh Dickinson hit their free throws down the stretch. Bethea and Tedrick Wilcox Jr. finished with 17 points each for St. Francis Brooklyn. Wilcox added six assists and three steals.^{[5] [6]}
