The Vikings guard was a little more emotional when he returned to Slippery Rock University this past weekend for the celebration.
Fusco became just the third player in program history to have his number retired during a ceremony on Friday in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.
“They told me about it, and I thought it was pretty cool,” Fusco said. “But it really didn’t sink in until I did the ceremony this past weekend.
“When they first showed the jersey being pulled from the drape and the number was officially retired, I was pretty emotional,” he added.
