The 2021-22 college basketball season is in full swing but has been without a familiar face on broadcasts. When No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 UCLA face each other, a rematch of the 2021 epic Final Four thriller, ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale will call his first basketball game of the season.
Vitale was released from the hospital after a day of chemotherapy on Nov. 16. He shared an emotional tweet about returning to the booth on Tuesday night.
"When told I had cancer at 82 on Oct, 12 I thought my days behind the mic were over," Vitale tweeted.
