UH Basketball's Emotional Tribute to Reggie Chaney

As the University of Houston Cougars gear up for the NCAA Tournament, the memory of their fallen teammate Reggie Chaney looms large. The talented forward, who starred on the team’s 2021 Final Four squad, tragically passed away last summer from a fentanyl overdose just days before he was set to embark on his professional career overseas. Chaney’s absence has left an irreplaceable void within the program, but his spirit and legacy continue to inspire the grief-stricken Cougars as they chase their championship dreams.
