DOWNTOWN SHOWDOWN
St. Francis Terriers 79
LIU Blackbirds 70
FINAL
Underestimate St. Francis(BK) at your on risk. Just ask the Blackbirds who on MLK Day became the twelfth opponent this season to learn the hard way. Up by 19-points at the half, the Remsen Street Terriers fend-off LIU's second half charge for a nine point margin of victory. In turn, the Blackbirds are denied a third straight victory at the Wellness Center, while St. Francis(BK) rolls to their NEC leading twelfth overall victory of the season.
Despite Raiquan Clarke's game high 29-points and 14 rebounds, the Blackbirds only shoot 21/58 (36.2%) from the floor, and just 3/19 (15.8 %) from three-point range.
Robert Morris remains perched atop the NEC standings with a 5-1 conference record. Both St. Francis(BK) and Sacred Heart are a game back with 4-2 records, while the LIU Blackbirds are bunched in a three-way tie with a 3-3 conference record, and 9-9 record overall.
The Blackbirds are headed to Maryland where they'll take on Mount St. Mary's on Thursday.
