Nice, I always liked Louie. He seems like a genuinely nice man.

What, it's not gonna be at MSG?

I thought MSG was the best college hoops home arena in NY State?

The man is in his upper 90’s. They better not wait too long.

I'm guessing most people here peering at this statue don't know who it is supposed to be (are you around, SWC75?). Hint - look at what the person is holding...

The tradition will be to put a real sweater on the statute which the 3 card Monty crew will steal and resell daily

Louie deserves this. Hope they can find a way to cast it with him clearly wearing an ugly sweater.

St John’s will save a lot of money given the size of the subject.

 

[Millhouse]

If we recruited that statue, he'd be our second best defender

Yeah, can't believe it took this long for them to do it to begin with. Particularly since they have been mediocre to bad for the last 20 years and have been longing for the days where he roamed the sideline.

If I were them, I'd see if I could strike up a deal with MSG to have a replica that could be rolled out to the lobby for when they played home games there.
