It was such a feel good moment on Tuesday night to see Andrew Jones get back onto the court in front of the Texas basketball faithful.

Jones missed the last 20 games of last season after being diagnosed with leukemia and has been dealing with an uphill battle in his fight against it ever since. Aside from the fact that he is such an important part of this Texas basketball team, he is a great person and his teammates preach it to no end.

“He wants to be treated like he’s one of us,” said point guard Matt Coleman.
