The 2011–2012 St. Francis Terriers men's basketball team represents St. Francis College during the 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The team is coached by Glenn Braica in his second 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.

Going into Glenn Braica's second year as head coach, the Terriers are looking to build on last years success and get beyond the NEC quarter-finals. Although, the Terriers lost several key pieces to their team via graduation, including St. Francis College all-time leading scorer, Ricky Cadell.[1]
