Every year people have very strong opinions about the practice of playing a lower division team. I understand the debate and I think the easiest answer is it is not always about the game itself. Sometimes it is about opportunity. I thought the game tonight hit all the right notes. What an incredible opportunity for Becker to come full circle and see how far his journey has taken him. What a great opportunity for Gallaudet to come play in a great college basketball atmosphere. They made enough shots for them to enjoy the game and they had a sizable fan contingent that was very enthusiastic. The group picture at the end of the game was a great representation of how college athletics can bring people together. It was a really nice moment before heading into the Thanksgiving holiday. Take time to appreciate all of the wonderful things you have in life and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
It was appropriate that it happened at Thanksgiving!
