Today is the final exhibition game of the Purdue men’s basketball season. The last tune-up. The last tweaking of the lineups, the last etc. etc.. You get my point. This game won’t count in the standings but it will count in the hearts of all those Purdue fans who get to step back into Mackey Arena tonight to see their beloved Boilermakers.
When I was younger my family lived about two hours away from Campus, two and a half if my dad drove, so we didn’t make it to many games. My parents also had four children so season basketball tickets weren’t a high priority.
