'That brings back old memories': Purdue basketball will wear throwback jerseys vs. MSU

The Purdue men's basketball team is going old school for its Big Ten matchup against Michigan State on Sunday.

In a video posted to the program's Twitter account Friday, Purdue freshmen Fletcher Loyer and Braden Smith received a text message from "RM" saying they should meet at Memorial Hall in Lebanon.

"RM" turned out to be Rick Mount , the three-time All-American for the Boilermakers who went on to play for the Indiana Pacers. When Loyer and Smith arrived at the historic gym, Mount said he had a "little something" for the duo.

Opening a gym bag of throwback jerseys that closely resemble the ones from the 1960s, Mount said, "That brings back old memories."
