Former Louisville Star Dies: Louisville’s first All-American and all-time leader in rebounds, Charlie Tyra, died at the Franciscan Health Care Center in Louisville, Ky. He had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, according to his son. He was 71. Tyra was the most valuable player in the 1956 National Invitation Tournament, in which he averaged 24 points and 18 rebounds as Louisville swept to the title. He made All-America that season and again the following year. Tyra’s NBA career most notably saw him play for the New York Knicks. His No. 8 college jersey is one of only four that the Cardinals have retired. [1/03/07]

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
