What a winner India Lewis was. One of the alltime best to ever play for then Lady Backs. She was perfect example of being tough on that court. Relentless. Pride of Siloam Springs. Rest In Peace. Bud Walton Arena will miss you.

Former Arkansas basketball player India Lewis died Tuesday in Tulsa after a short battle with breast cancer.
Lewis, 36, was a multiple-sport standout athlete at Siloam Springs High in the late 1990s, starring in volleyball, basketball and softball.
She’s probably best known for leading the Lady Panthers basketball team to the Class AAAA state championship in 1999. She was named Miss Basketball by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and also garnered the newspaper’s Female Athlete of the Year award in 1999.
Lewis then went on to play four seasons at the University of Arkansas under then-coach Gary Blair, where she was a regular contributor and second on the team in scoring as a junior and senior. The Razorbacks reached the NCAA Tournament in three of her four college seasons.
She was just diagnosed in June.

Basically a 2 month battle, and only 36 so she probably wasn’t having yearly mammos yet (unless family history or something) and who knows it may have aggressive enough it wouldn’t have mattered. Cancer is simply the vilest bitch of them all.
RIP beautiful India,

with all of the advances in care, technology, cellular research... why is this still happening?

Prayers for her family and friends!
