Lucas: Hugging Eric Montross

Posted Apr 7, 2023
Hugging Eric Montross isn't easy. He's tall, as you know. So there's a lot to hug, and you're standing on your toes trying to do an adequate job, but you're essentially burying yourself in his shoulder. But given the news of recent weeks, there was simply no other way to greet him. The basketball program announced Montross' cancer diagnosis on March 26. (GoHeels.com)
