W&J basketball alumni participated in an alumni game Friday night at the Henry Memorial Center and then headed to a reception at Solomon's Seafood thanks to the help of 1997 graduate and former basketball player Mike Williamson.

Prior to the game, a moment of silence was held as two members of W&J's basketball history passed away last week. 1959 graduate, W&J Hall of Famer and single-game point record holder Larry Romboski passed way on Wednesday. On Friday night, the head coach of the 1993-94 Presidents, Tom Reiter, passed away. The Presidents' coach from 1993-2002, Reiter was an assistant athletics director at his alma mater, Purdue.
