This week the latest installment of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden will be special. Virginia plays West Virginia and Connecticut takes on Maryland. Four teams with pride and passion will do battle.
Jimmy Valvano will be proudly looking down from heaven, watching all of the action.
I remember like it was yesterday. Valvano made that courageous speech at the ESPY awards in New York City. His words will always resonate ... Don't Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up!
The V Foundation has become something special, raising money for cancer research. It has made a difference in so many lives.
