ALTOONA, Pa. - The Altoona Mirror brought together a panel of six experts in the history of the Saint Francis men's basketball program to build a list of the greatest wins in program history.

Neil Rudel of the Altoona Mirror was joined by Red Flash play-by-play announcer Pat Farabaugh, analyst Bernie Jubeck, former sports information directors Bob Moore and Kevin Southard, and Nittany Sports Now's Cory Giger to construct the rankings.

The 1991 NCAA Play-In Round win over Fordham edged out a 1955 NIT victory over Holy Cross at Madison Square Garden to earn the top spot. Three victories from Rob Krimmel's tenure as head coach - a 2014 upset of Rutgers at the RAC, the 2017 NEC Tournament buzzer-beater at Wagner, and this year's season opener at Pitt - made the top 10.
