St. John's men's and women's basketball teams will wear patches honoring late Hall of Famer Lou Carnesecca for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, the school announced on Wednesday.

Carnesecca died on Nov. 30 at age 99. He led St. John's men's basketball to 526 wins over 24 seasons between 1965 and 1992.

St. John's vice president of athletics Edward M. Kull shared an image of the commemorative patch on X.

In addition to the patches, special tributes in Carnesecca's memory will be held this weekend during a men's game against Kansas State on Saturday and a women's contest against Wake Forest on Sunday.
