Shame. Sad. Lost his battle with cancer. For those wondering, Andrew Smith was the Center for Butler's team who beat us in the NCAA's a few years ago.
Andrew Smith died today

Ya know, I knew we played them twice in a post season tourney. I just lost track of memories to the CBI.
The CBI was a great time.....just watch Pitt play w/o much caring about the result. I don't recall this young man....but that's really a shame. Too young.
Had the winning shot against us in DC. We were so worried about Mack, when Mack to a couple dribbles to the basket, we lost track of Smith.
Very sad to hear about this. He had non-Hodgkins lymphoma. James Conner has Hodgkins Lymphoma. Not sure which has the better cure rate but it makes it a little more real, not that it wasnt already. What a tragedy. 25. Thats not right.
If only world governments were as serious about curing cancer, a true worldwide epidemic, as they are about other thing, stuff like this wouldnt need to happen.

That's not necessarily true, and you cannot generalize one versus the other. There are something like 60 different types of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Each has a completely different prognosis, many are very, very treatable. There are B-cell, T-cell, NK-cell, and follicular-cell types. There is also aggressive vs indolent classifications as well. Both Paul Azinger and Merrill Hoge had non-Hodgkins. Both, I believe, had large B-Cell types that were aggressive in nature. Many such B-cell types of NHL have 95% cure rates if caught in Phase 1 or Phase 2. T-cell types only account for about 10% of NHL cases. Smith had the T-cell type.
