Saint Francis University Athletics

From the late 1940s to the early 1970s, Saint Francis College ranked among the upper tier of the nation's college basketball programs. Between 1947 and 1971, SFC teams turned in 19 winning seasons, six 20-win campaigns and were selected to participate in the elite National Invitational Tournament on three occasions.  In an effort to preserve and promote the forgotten story of Saint Francis' men's basketball's heyday, University President Rev. Gabriel Zeis, T.O.R., created the Golden Era Men's Basketball Committee and charged it with identifying players and teams of that period to be inducted into an extension of the SFU Athletics Hall of Fame.
