Gallaudet men’s basketball to play on ESPN3 tonight vs UVM

[Transcript] The Gallaudet University men’s basketball team will play against the University of Vermont (UVM) tonight and it will be televised on ESPN3 at 7 pm. If you have ESPN, you can login with your cable provider.

UVM is a Division 1 college, while Gallaudet University is in Division III.

UVM coach John Becker’s first collegiate coaching jobs was with Gallaudet when he was an assistant coach and then the head coach from 1995 to 1997.

Gallaudet’s head coach Kevin Kovacs used to be a player under him during the 1994-95 season and worked with him as an assistant coach for two years. He said it would be surreal for him to look across the court and see Becker.

Gallaudet has yet to win this season, losing their first five games. UVM has a 5-2 record. Kovacs tweeted that tonight will be their toughest game so far.

Becker explained in an interview that when he was in the DIII level, any opportunity to play against a DI program was a huge opportunity and that’s why he played against a DIII school the past two years, and decided to play Gallaudet this year.

Good luck to both teams, and again it’ll be on ESPN3 tonight at 7 pm. Gallaudet’s leading scorer is guard Noah Valencia.
