Gordon ready to make NCAA Tournament history
Joey Khan/Photography EditorIn four years of college, Derrick Gordon has worn three different uniforms – those of Western Kentucky, UMass and, finally, Seton Hall.
When the No. 6-seeded Pirates take on No. 11-seeded Gonzaga on March 17, it will be their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2005-06. But it will be Gordon’s third time at the Big Dance. He is the first player ever to ac- complish that feat.
The senior said it best after he helped SHU defeat Villanova to win the Big East Tournament on Saturday, March 12 at Madison Square Garden.
“I’m a winner.”
“It just says a lot about the player and person he is,” Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard said of Gordon’s historic accomplishment.
