Former Butler Star Andrew Smith Dies After Battling Cancer
By MICHAEL MAROT, AP SPORTS WRITER
INDIANAPOLIS — Jan 12, 2016, 8:34 PM ET
Andrew Smith's basketball skills made him a fan favorite at Butler.
Teammates, coaches, family and friends always knew there was a lot more to Smith than that.
On Tuesday, the former Bulldogs star, who played in two national championship games, died at the age of 25 after a two-year battle with cancer. Athletic director Barry Collier spoke with Smith's family before issuing a joint statement with university President James Danko.
"What made Andrew special was the way that he genuinely cared for others," they said. "Within his large frame was an even larger heart. He is, was, and always will be a Bulldog."
