PC to retire jerseys of three greats

Providence College is set to announce tonight that the school will retire the jerseys of former All-Americans Jimmy Walker, Ernie DiGregorio and Marvin Barnes. The jerseys will be raised to the rafters at the Dunkin' Donuts Center on March 8, the date of the final Friar regular season game against Villanova.

Currently the only jersey retired by PC has been that of Hall of famer Lenny Wilkens, who starred for PC in the early 1960's. Walker, PC's greatest all-time player, died over the summer and will not be present at the ceremony. PC is planning for members of Walker's family to be in attendance in his honor. DiGregorio and Barnes are both expected to be on hand as well.
