After last year’s tremendous season of Red Storm basketball, enthusiasm for the Johnnies has reached a fever pitch.

Hosted by WFAN radio personalities Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton, the event raised over $175,000 in support of St. John’s basketball. Throughout the night, Women’s Basketball Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico and Men’s Basketball Assistant Coaches Mike Dunlap, Rico Hines and Special Assistant/Adviser Gene Keady spoke to the guests about the upcoming season, providing their expert analysis and insight. The University also honored its proud tradition at the Chris Mullin Hall of Fame event. An intimate group of former players, coaches and supporters of St. John’s athletics came back to campus for this nostalgic night to celebrate Chris Mullin ’98CBA and his recent induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Among those in attendance were Red Storm legends Mullin, Willie Glass and Kevin Williams ’92CBA, former Head Coach Lou Carnesecca ’50C, ’60GEd, ’00HON and longtime Men’s Basketball Trainer Ron Linfonte.
