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.

Lou Carnesecca was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992, making him one of dozens of college coaches honored. His numbers during 24 years at St. John’s made him an easy choice.

UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma plans to honor the late St. John's coach Lou Carnesecca when the Huskies visit the Red Storm in January
