BROOKLYN, NY – Robert Morris is headed back to the NCAA Tournament for an eighth time, while St. Francis Brooklyn is still waiting for its first trip, after the Colonials defeated the Terriers 66-63 on Tuesday night in the NEC Championship Game.
Robert Morris was led by Rodney Pryor, who made four of eight three-point attempts and scored 17. The Colonials trailed 35-29 at the break, before rallying in the second half.
St. Francis remains one of just five original members of Division I that’s never been to the Tournament – but they didn’t go down without a fight. Lowell Ulmer’s three-quarter-court heave as time expired hit back iron and barely missed tying the game.
Jason Benetti and Alaa Abdelnaby called the action on Westwood One Sports.
