Undaunted by a defender literally in his face, he simply raised up and hit the shot as he faded away from the opponent. Scores of thousands of reps made it second nature. So when faced with real, ...

Chris Lofton is tough as they come

Posted 5/2/2008 on The Dagger

It's hard to make jokes about something like this, so instead I'll just admit how incredibly impressive it is: Chris Lofton was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the offseason last year . The reason you're just hearing about this? Lofton kept it private, beat the cancer , and then played his entire senior season with nary a mention of the disease.

Wow … all apologies. He was diagnosed with cancer only a few days after Tennessee ended its 2006-07 season with a Sweet 16 loss to Ohio State in San Antonio. Miraculously, the cancer was ...
