Two years after leading his team to the Division III Final Four for the first time, head coach Stephen Brennan helped men's basketball become just the third New England program in 42 years to win a national title in 2017.
Led by two-time NABC Player of the Year Joey Flannery '17 and a senior class that won 103 career games, the Beavers went 31-2 and were the nation's top-ranked team for the final nine weeks of the regular season.
Despite a rash of late-season injuries, Babson defeated Husson, Skidmore, Tufts and Keene State inside Staake Gymnasium to return to the NCAA Final Four.
After overcoming a 25-point first-half deficit against then-No. 1 Whitman in the national semifinals, the Green and White avenged its 2015 national semifinal loss to Augustana in the championship game.
Clinging to a one-point lead in the closing seconds, Flannery blocked a potential game-winning shot to help secure the Walnut and Bronze for the Beavers.
