Purdue Boilermakers (NCAA Men’s Basketball) – Rick Mount Bobblehead
From: IndyStar – By Nathan Baird – January 1,2016
Purdue coach Matt Painter said he gave his players the “Cliff’s notes” version of what Rick Mount means to the school and basketball program. Even from two hallways away in Mackey Arena on Saturday, the Boilermakers will likely hear how much Purdue’s fans appreciate Mount. The program’s all-time leading scorer, who has been estranged from Purdue basketball for decades, plans to attend festivities honoring him during Saturday’s game against Iowa. The 6 p.m. game, which features a Rick Mount bobblehead giveaway, is nearly sold out. Purdue announced Friday that a limited number of $60 tickets were available at PurdueSports.com.
The Mount appreciation day and bobblehead follows a recent trend for Purdue basketball, which held similar celebrations for Glenn Robinson, Joe Barry Carroll and John Wooden. Mount’s stature, and the end of his long absence, could make Saturday’s celebration unlike any other.
“I think it’s going to be great, not just for Rick but also for our fans and everybody who supports Purdue,” said Painter, who was part of the same 1990 Gene Keady recruiting class as Mount’s son, Rich. “It’s good that it’s the Big Ten opener so he can see how people have appreciated him throughout the years.”
