FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Colorado State junior forward Emmanuel Omogbo is expected to play at Air Force on Wednesday night, a day after losing his parents and two young relatives in a house fire.
Fire officials in Maryland said Caroline and Samson Omogbo died at the scene in a blaze early Tuesday in Chillum. His sister's 2-year-old twins were taken to a hospital, where they died.
Colorado State head coach Larry Eustachy said, "This is absolutely heartbreaking for Emmanuel, his family and for all of us that know him. There are no words to describe how it felt to hear this terrible news.
