From the Athletics office:  “From everyone at the UK Athletics department, our condolences go out to former UK guard and his family who are dealing with a heavy loss today. Terri Krebs, the mother of Mark Krebs, died Wednesday after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 49.  Mrs. Krebs first battled breast cancer nine years ago. Last summer, doctors informed her that the cancer had spread to her bones, lungs and liver.  Despite the news, Mrs. Krebs valiantly fought the disease and made it through the men’s basketball season for Mark’s Senior Day.”
