Tragic Story. Andre was an amazing player that pretty much carried that first team for Bob Knight at Tech.

Andre Emmett was a straight up baller. He was really fun to watch with a quick first step.

This is a sad story. I hope they find the mother****ers who did it.

This is awful news. Sand Aggy or not -- that dude could PLAY!

Way too young to depart this realm and not a good way to go at that.

RIP Andre ...

Yeah, he pretty much salvaged what could have been some awful years and turned us into a respectable team. RIP.

Too sad. Really sorry to see that. One life lost and two really messed up lives that stand a good chance to be taken as well - legally if found.

Sad news
