LIU vs. St. Francis

Last year's Battle of Brooklyn, a 78-68 win for LIU, came in the midst of a season-changing 10-1 stretch for the Blackbirds. Gone, however, are C.J. Garner and Jamal Olaswere, who accounted for 42 points and 17 rebounds in the LIU victory and who helped offset 21 points from preseason All-NEC selection Jalen Cannon. With borough bragging rights on the line, the intensity is sure to be sky high at Barclays Center!
