Butler announces weekend of tributes for Andrew Smith

The Butler Bulldogs will be honoring Andrew Smith in a variety of ways this weekend, the team announced Friday morning.

Smith, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 25 following a long battle with cancer, was a standout on Butler's back-to-back national runner up teams.

Saturday's game against St. John's will be Butler's annual "Stay Positive Day", in honor of Smith. Butler will also debut their "AS44" jersey patches that they will wear the rest of the season, and there will be a moment of silence and video tribute, both of which will air on FOX Sports 1 if you are unable to attend the game.
