Legendary basketball coach Rick Pitino’s office at St. John’s University was broken into by a pair of thieves who ransacked it for memorabilia, cops and sources said.

Two as-yet-unidentified men ran off with $375 worth of goods, including a basketball and bullhorn, during the Tuesday burglary in Carnesecca Arena, where Pitino’s office is located a flood above the basketball court, cops said.

The sneaky crooks entered the building about 6 p.m., raided Pitino’s office and sped off from the Queens campus on a moped headed west on Union Turnpike with the stolen memorabilia.

“The University shared surveillance footage with the NYPD and is assisting in the ongoing investigation,” a statement from St. John’s athletics department reads.

Other items stolen from Pitino’s office were a sword, mask and bottles of alcohol, sources said. It wasn’t clear whether the theft was limited to his office.

Pitino himself is listed as making the complaint to the NYPD, sources said.
