NEW YORK (AP) — The men's and women's basketball teams at St. John's will wear “Lou” patches on their uniform jerseys for the rest of this season to honor Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca, who died Saturday at age 99.
A funeral mass at St. Thomas More Church on the university's Queens campus will be held Friday morning, and the athletic department will host “A Tribute to Coach Carnesecca” this weekend during men's and women's games at the arena that bears his name, St. John's announced Tuesday.
Led by coach Rick Pitino, the Red Storm men play Kansas State on Saturday as part of the Big 12-Big East Battle. The women's squad faces Wake Forest on Sunday.
Carnesecca’s reserved seat in Section 7, Row JJ, Seat 3, where he was often a fixture at games after retiring in 1992, will remain empty in his honor.
