One of those that you knew would be coming soon, but still doesn't make it any easier at all when it actually happens.

Him/JT sweater games in 1985 forever one of my favorite memories of the Big East.

I’ll be at Carnesecca Arena today for the game against Kansas State…..been a strange week and his passing hit me harder than I thought it would…..feel like this is a monumental game for the team, the conference and most importantly for honoring Lou....there will be many tributes today……I think leaving his regular seat empty will be the most emotional…..the patches they created for the men’s and women’s jerseys are a really nice touch……go Johnnies!!
