    Chris Lofton enjoyed a SEC regular-season championship less than one year after quietly beating cancer.

    It was truly a memorable career, one that Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl guarantees will someday lead to the retiring of Lofton's No. 5 jersey.

    But Lofton's greatest conquest came off the court.

    Incredible story. To come back and play ball just months after undergoing radiation - that's rough stuff.
