Twenty-two years after setting foot on the court of Carnesecca Arena, members of the St. John’s Elite Eight Men’s Basketball team got together via WebEx to reminisce on their time as Johnnies. On Monday Sept. 21, these alumni met with current Men’s Basketball Head Coach Mike Anderson, Athletic Director Mike Cragg and hundreds of fans for the second installment of the virtual “Chat With” segment, hosted and moderated by Vin Parise of Fox Sports.
“I want to congratulate you guys and celebrate you guys,” Anderson said to tip off the conversation.
There were seven members of the 1998-99 team present at this event: Collin Charles, Reggie Jessie, Tyrone Grant, Donald Emanuel, Albert Richardson, Erick Barkley and Metta World Peace (formerly known as Ron Artest).
