Way, way too young.
Former Butler big man Andrew Smith, a key player on Brad Stevens' two teams that went to the national title game, died on Tuesday after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 25.

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
Just tragic. RIP Andrew.

Just brutal news. Really cool story through college of a tall drink of water who had to walk on at Butler initially and developed into a legit weapon for the Bulldogs between his Freshman and Sophomore seasons. He was the leading scorer in his Junior Year(albeit averaging 10.8 Points/gm).
Obviously his basketball stats don't define his life but that's how everyone gained access to see the glorious man beneath.
