With Mackey needing new floors, Purdue will head across the river for the biennial alumni game on August 6th.
Traditionally, the Purdue Basketball Alumni game takes place every other year in Mackey Arena. In the alumni game, the current Boilermaker squad will rub shoulders and play a great game of basketball with former Purdue players. In games past, Coach Painter will coach one of the teams, while Gene Keady returns to his court to coach the other team.
However, with Mackey Arena needing a new floor after a water main break earlier this year, the game had to be moved elsewhere.
