Men of Mackey Advance in TBT
Men of Mackey wins on a game winner to advance in the TBT.
There was a lot of feel goods about this year's Men of Mackey team. Jon Octeus joined at the last minute to add wing depth to a Boilermaker Alumni team that already had Robbie Hummel and Lewis Jackson as throwback Purdue greats, and more recent Boilers like David Jenkins Jr. and Jacquil Taylor.
Men of Mackey also had two of Purdue's most enigmatic guards, Kelsey Barlow and Nojel Eastern, who both left Purdue early, but returned to the Men of Mackey and helped lead the Men of Mackey to a first round win against Team Colorado, 70-68 in Dayton, Ohio.
It was a non-Boilermaker that knocked down the Men of Mackey's game winner in dramatic finish.
Isaiah Wilkerson's game-winner wrapped up a fourth-quarter comeback by a Men of Mackey team that trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half.
Men of Mackey will now take on Friday Beers who beat Athletics Miami 84-72.
The game will be Friday at 6:00 pm.
