Tennessee Stud had Cancer

It was discoverd in 2007 during the NCAA tournament that Chris Lofton, Senior Guard(then Junior) from Tennesse was diagnosised with Testicular Cancer. But the way he found out, was the hard part. After taking a drug test and failing it he was told by the doctor that he has a tumor that may be cancerous. Coach Bruce Pearl was on the Jim Rome Is Burning Radio Show today talking about this with Jim. He said they looked at the Lance Armstrong story and said that Chris just wasn't ready for that kind of pressure. Chris Lofton did have the cancerous tumor removed, just less than one week after the season-ending loss to Ohio State in 2007. To have played with this illness and still have the Senior seson Chris had is remarkable. Chris is projected to be drafted into the NBA in the incoming draft. Let's just hope that the cancer stays away.
