The Gold team, behind a strong return to Lafayette by Sandi Marcius, beat Robbie Hummel’s black squad 86-84 in the Purdue alumni game played at Lafayette Jeff High School.
The game was a mix of nostalgia, sloppy play, out of shape guys, and fun. Brian Cardinal started the game with a very bricked 3 pointer, but got some of the biggest cheers later when he couldn’t help but fall back into the Mr. Hustle role. He along with Hummel mounted a couple late comebacks to claim the victory but a falling away three pointer in the corner by Hummel bounced off rim and it was not to be.
