QUEENS, N.Y. – The St. John's men's basketball program hosted the 11th annual Lou Carnesecca Golf Classic on Monday, raising more than $300,000 to support the Red Storm both on and off the court.

Attendees were welcomed by the evening's emcee, FOX Sports and St. John's Basketball analyst Vin Parise before inviting Rev. Brian J.
