Terrence Jones keeps promise to Louisville cheerleader

Three weeks after the Kentucky forward barreled into Louisville cheerleader Jerica Logue chasing down a loose ball during the Final Four, Jones found a way to atone for the four stitches she had to get at halftime to close the wound on top of her head. Jones showed up to Louisville cheerleading practice on Monday night with a bouquet of flowers just as he said he would do when informed about Logue's injuries the night of the game.

"For her to get stitches during the game and it being my fault, I told her I would do it," Jones told Louisville TV station WHAS. "I just had to keep to my word."

The collision left Logue bloodied and in tears, but she composed herself after getting stitches and returned to her spot on the baseline to cheer on the Cardinals in the second half of their 69-61 loss. Even though she'd read Jones had said he'd drive to Louisville with flowers for her, Logue admits she wasn't sure the Kentucky forward would actually make the trip.

That's a really nice bit of sportsmanship between schools that are often very bitter rivals.

Great story, you RARELY find things like this in athletics, these kind of actions are ones that really make me feel good, and see that there are still good people out there

Great story but I hate having cheerleader and reporters on the sideline. I cringe every time players chase balls off the court. Even more than people on the sidelines I hate the elevated courts. That is absolutely one if dumbest ideas ever.

There's not really a solution for it though, is there?
