🦈 THE SHARKS ARE YOUR 2026 NEC MEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS!!! 🏆 For the first time since 2018 — and the 7th time in program history — @LIUAthletics is hoisting the #NECMBB trophy! #NEC26 x #NEChoops

Great to see Malachi Davis and Jamal Fuller cut down the nets tonight. Those two, in particular, deciding to return was the start of what became a championship season for them and LIU. This championship doesn't happen without those two making that decision.

Congrats also to Rod Strickland. He got the job in July 2022 and most of that team hit the portal. Left him scrambling to get a staff and players. Finished with one D1 win, 3 wins total. He built it slowly. 7 wins the next season. 17 last year and so far 24 wins this season. He deserves his flowers. #LIUMBB
