2022–23 St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers men's basketball team

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]
