He always drove me crazy as a player, jackin up threes left and right. I felt like he often took Tennessee out of their rhythm. Yet his battle with cancer that hasn't been publicized until today is a very intriguing story.

It took a while to read, and I hate articles that don't tell you what you want to know (what kind of cancer) until you read most of the way through, but what a great story. Thanks for posting it.
For those who don't feel like reading the long article, Lofton was diagnosed with testicular cancer because an NCAA mandated drug screen detected high levels of a steroid in his system, and that lead to the diagnosis. In his case, the positive drug test was a stroke of good luck.

He kept it quiet because he didn't want it to be a distraction to the team. Wow, this guy battled cancer and still was thinking about his teammates.
