Utah, Marquette to honor Rick Majerus’ memory

Utah honored Majerus’ memory by leaving a seat empty in his honor, marked only by his trademark sweater.

Wednesday night, the Utah Utes played their first game since their legendary former coach, Rick Majerus, passed away. The Utes handled Boise State with ease, as you might expect, but before the game even started, they honored Majerus’ memory by leaving a seat empty in his honor, marked only by his trademark sweater (which will eventually be raised to the rafters at the Jon M. Huntsman Center).

Additionally, Marquette, the school from where Majerus graduated and then later coached (1983-86), will wear a patch on their uniforms the remainder of the season:
