'I did it. I'm a college basketball player. I scored in a college basketball game ... you can't take that away from me. I'm just so forever grateful.'
"It's a dream come true to look in the box score seeing No. 32, Josh Speidel -- it's a dream come true, and I couldn't be more happier," Speidel said.
Albany won the opening tip and quickly scored in an arranged agreement that allowed Vermont to then give the ball to Speidel for a layup. Officials stopped the game, with players and coaches from both teams congratulating Speidel before he walked off the court to a standing ovation. "I did it. I'm a college basketball player. I scored in a college basketball game ... you can't take that away from me. I'm just so forever grateful."
Speidel joked he considered missing his shot to record an offensive rebound in a quest to fill his stat sheet. "I was thinking of maybe missing it, maybe to get an offensive rebound in there," he said."But I figured I might as well go 1-for-1 and shoot 100% in my college career."
