Former Syracuse University basketball star Tiana Mangakahia, whose career was cut short by cancer, died on Thursday as the "ultimate fighter" against the disease, officials said. She was 30. Mangakahia, a point guard who led the Orange in assists in each of her three seasons with Syracuse, was "surrounded by family and friends in her hometown of Brisbane, Australia," when she passed, the school said.
