Seton Hall’s Derrick Gordon could soon make history as the first openly gay basketball player to compete in the NCAA March Madness tournament. Seton Hall’s victory over Villanova in the Big East Championship on Saturday means they qualify for the Men’s Division I NCAA Basketball Tournament, which begins this week.
Gordon first came out in 2014 while playing for University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
“ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE….BIG EAST CHAMPS BABY!!” Gordon wrote on Facebook above a photo of himself clutching the championship trophy in the locker room at Madison Square Garden after the game. “History In The Making!!”
