Like me, you may be thinking, who the hell are the Long Island University Sharks? You may have been familiar with the LIU Blackbirds, but what is the deal with the sharks? In July 2019, the two separate campuses of LIU, the DI Brooklyn & DII Post Pioneers combined into the D1 LIU Sharks. They have been picked as the NEC preseason favorite & redshirt senior Raiquan Clark (who started as a walk-on) was named unanimous pick for the preseason All-NEC team. The team is coached by former UMass player/coach, Derek Kellogg. Fun fact, the LIU uniforms look very similar to the 1987-88 URI's Sweet 16 team’s uniforms.
