Emerson Kampen, ex-Butler Bulldogs teammate of Andrew Smith, to be bone marrow donor

Andrew Smith's legacy already is leaving a lasting impression, from the lives he indirectly could save to the patches the Butler program will wear to honor its former center.

Smith, who played on both Butler teams that reached the NCAA title games in 2010 and '11, died Tuesday at age 25 after a lengthy battle with cancer.

On Thursday, a former teammate, Emerson Kampen, found out that he will be the bone marrow donor for a 59-year-old male battling non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the same cancer Smith had.
