A St. John’s basketball legend has passed away at 68 — Wayne McKoy, the towering six-foot-nine forward who helped lead the Red Storm to the 1979 NCAA Elite Eight and stunned Duke in a legendary upset.

His legacy lives on as a cornerstone of St. John’s history and a beloved figure in college hoops.
