Samajae Haynes-Jones will remember many things from his last game in Charles Koch Arena.
He’ll remember the fans, the energy, the buzzer beaters, his teammates — and his mother, who died of cancer when he was in high school.
“She’s always here with me,” Haynes-Jones said ahead of his senior game Tuesday. “It’s always tough when I think about it, but it’s something that keeps me motivated.”
Haynes-Jones wasn’t an overnight success.
