The 1949–50 St. Francis Terriers men's basketball team represented St. Francis College during the 1949–50 NCAA men's basketball season. The team was coached by Daniel Lynch, who was in his second year at the helm of the St. Francis Terriers. The team was a member of the Metropolitan New York Conference continuously since 1945, although the team first joined the conference in its inaugural year, 1933.
Last season the Terriers were the first team in the New York City area to have a basketball game televised, and this season the Terriers had six games televised on WPIX and WOR-TV from the II Corps Artillery Armory.
National Catholic Invitation Tournament
Originally the tournament was to take place at Loyola College in Baltimore, MD from March 15th to March 22nd and feature sixteen teams. Yet, because of segregation and protest from St. Francis College about the unequal treatment of its black players, the tournament was moved to Albany, NY and featured eight teams.
