Pitino, who previously coached at Providence, and Carnesecca faced each other five times during their Naismith Hall of Fame careers. St. John's all-time wins leader (526) was also in attendance for Pitino's introductory press conference at Madison Square Garden when the second-year head coach was introduced on March 21, 2023.

"Looie" led St. John's to 24 winning campaigns in 24 seasons at the helm from 1965-70 and 1973-92. His teams advanced to the postseason each year, appearing in the NCAA Tournament 18 times while registering six National Invitation Tournament (NIT) appearances. Those postseason berths were highlighted by an appearance in the 1985 Final Four and the program's fifth NIT title in 1989. His teams also recorded an additional pair of Elite Eight appearances in 1979 and 1991.

St. John's continues its four-game homestand on Saturday when it welcomes Kansas State for the Big 12 – BIG EAST Battle. Tip-off from Carnesecca Arena is slated for 11:30 a.m. on FOX.
