During the 1953–54 season the Terriers won their first regular season conference championship and participated in their first National Invitational Tournament reaching the Quarterfinals. Their participation in the NIT was more impressive considering they had the smallest student body of all schools ever selected and were the only school participating from the NYC area that year.[2] The Terries first round victory over 20th ranked Louisville was considered a notable upset.[3] The 1953–54 season also stands as the Terriers best record of all time.
