Andrew Smith was a hero on the court, to the fans in the stands and at home. He tallied 1,147 career points. He was a hero under a national spotlight–a member of the Butler men’s basketball team during their chase for an NCAA championship in 2010 and 2011.
Heroes do not fall or falter. Breaks in stride are intentional, a fleeting stammer of feet against the boards of the court before grasping the ball and stretching tall with grace toward the basket.
We are the fans, wrapping around the sidelines and spanning to the far walls of Hinkle Fieldhouse, clinging to every breath and rhythm of the game, every high and low.
