Former Syracuse men's basketball star Louis Orr, an eight-year NBA veteran and then a college basketball coach for three decades, died Thursday at the age of 64.

Assistant coach Louis Orr of the Georgetown Hoyas looks on during the first round of the Big East Basketball Tournament against the St. John's Red Storm at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 7, 2018.

"Louis Orr's memory will live in our hearts forever, and especially whenever we look up and see his No. 55 in the Dome rafters." Orr got his first head coaching gig with Siena, coaching the Saints for just one season before leaving for Seton Hall for the same position. In his five seasons with the Pirates, he twice made it to March Madness, as well as the NIT one year. He also was named the Big East Coach of the Year in 2003.
