Three years after emerging as an unlikely hero in the 2013 national championship game, Spike Albrecht is leaving Michigan. The senior guard announced his intention to finish out his collegiate career at Purdue on Tuesday.
The Crown Point, Indiana, native made the move official on Twitter:
Excited to announce that I'll be playing my 5th year for Purdue University!! #BoilerUp

Albrecht, 23, was limited to just nine games last season due to a hip condition. He initially announced he would be stepping away from college basketball entirely, but he had a change of heart as the 2015-16 season ended.
