Senior nights in collegiate sports can often be emotional events, but the University of Vermont may have set a new benchmark on Tuesday night.
Playing their season finale in front of their own fans against Albany, the Catamounts gave Josh Speidel his first start in college basketball, which he marked by scoring the first basket of the game in Vermont's 85-62 win.
Speidel was hit by an oncoming car as he drove out of a parking lot while trying to get over on a four-lane main road. While nobody else was injured in the accident, his head swung back and forth as the car spun out of control, causing a traumatic brain injury.
Described by Vermont coach John Becker as the best player the program recruited in his 14-year spell in Burlington—Kyle Guy and Dylan Windler, whom he played with on the grassroots circuit, were selected in the 2019 NBA draft—Speidel eventually came out of the coma—but had to learn to walk and talk again.
"It's been a long journey for him," Becker told Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.
