UNC basketball’s Eric Montross, a national champion and radio analyst for the Tar Heels, died Sunday following a battle with cancer.

Montross was 52. His family made the announcement Monday morning in a school-issued statement. Montross, who was surrounded by loved ones at his home in Chapel Hill, is survived by his wife, Laura; his daughters, Sarah and Megan; and his son, Andrew.

In a statement, the Montross family said they were “grateful for the tremendous support and the truly overwhelming love expressed by so many people as he battled with his signature determination and grace.”

They also thanked UNC’s Lineberger Cancer Center, “who matched his fight with equal passion.”
