The 1956–1957 St. Francis Terriers men's basketball team represented

Park Slope, Brooklyn
.

Before the season, Walter Adamushko was named team captain by Coach Lynch.[2] Also prior to the season, Lynch was interviewed by the New York Times and he expressed pessimism about the teams progress, since he lost several players to graduation. Last year, Lynch's Terriers were nationally ranked and made it to the NIT semifinals.[3]

The Terriers participated in the 3rd Annual NAIA Tip-Off Tournament, which took place in Omaha, Nebraska. They defeated Eau Claire State in the first round, Gustavus Adolphus in the second round, but lost to Texas Southern in the Championship game.
