The 2010-2011 St. Francis Terriers men's basketball team represents St. Francis College during the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team is coached by Glenn Braica in his first year at the school. The Terrier's home games are played at Pope Physical Education Center and the team is a member of the Northeast Conference.

In Glenn Braica's first year as head coach, the Terriers finished 15–15 (10-8 in the NEC). The Terriers made the playoff's as the 5th seed and lost in the quarter-finals to Central Connecticut State University.[1] The Terriers were off to a good start, yet, after the Madison Square Garden Holiday Festival, which included losses to Northwestern University and Davidson College, they seemed to falter. The Terriers hit there low when losing two straight to Long Island University, including the Battle of Brooklyn game at home. After those loses, the Terriers picked themselves up and finished the regular season strong winning their last four games against conference teams.
