OT: Andrew Smith passes away at 25

Hey guys, I figured many of you were keeping up with this story. I thought I'd share the article and Brad Stevens's reaction to his former player passing. I know he played a role in the two national championship game runs, including the one against Duke. RIP Andrew

This was tough news when I saw it. As the son of a cancer survivor, I know the impacts it can have on a family. The only nice part was that he passed peacefully in his sleep. Prayers and condolences to his family and loved ones.

There is just nothing fair about who lives and who dies and no words can express enough sorrow.
