The Long Island Blackbirds men’s basketball team in hands of Herbert Raubenheimer inherited their first season in 1928-1929.

The Blackbirds had appeared in 3 NCAA tournaments and in the NIT 10 times. The last appearance in an NCAA tournament was in 1997 and in a NIT tournament was in 1998.

In the season 2006-2007 the Blackbirds finished with a record of 10-19 and 6-12 in conference, getting the 10th place.

Head coach Jim Ferry performed very good last 2007-08 season, as the Blackbirds finished seventh in the NEC.

This 2008-09 season could be a year in which the team can achieve progress and become future contenders in the first positions in the NEC.
