Loyola Marymount University unveiled a statue over the weekend to commemorate basketball great Hank Gathers.
Gathers died of a heart condition in 1990 after collapsing during a WCC tournament game against Portland. Wednesday marks the 30th anniversary of his death.
LMU revealed the statue in a Saturday ceremony in front of the team’s Los Angeles arena Gersten Pavilion. The Lions also wore 1989-90 throwback uniforms in their 69-67 loss to San Francisco.
Forever Hank’s House.
