LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville senior Spencer Legg followed head coach Pat Kelsey to town from College of Charleston and has planted roots in just one year.

The 6-foot-7-inch guard from Washington, D.C., created a nonprofit called Spencer's Stand, which aims to create a community of support around those diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
