HAMMOND, Ind. - Purdue University Calumet will be hosting an exhibition game this weekend, as Basketball Club Partizan from Belgrade, Serbia is set to take on the Midwest All-Stars on Sunday, September 27 at the Fitness & Recreation Center. Tip-off for the main event is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Partizan, the most decorated professional team in Serbia, is coming off their eighth-straight Serbian league title. The former club of NBA legend Vlade Divac advanced to the Euroleagues’ Elite 8 a year ago and will kick off their U.S. tour at Purdue Calumet’s Fitness and Recreation Center. The team will also face the Midwest All-Stars in Detroit, Mich., before taking on the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns in NBA preseason action.

There will be a number of NBA personnel on hand, as each team boasts rosters packed with professional talent. Potential NBA lottery pick Jan Vesely leads a lengthy Partizan squad that has an average height of nearly six-feet, eight-inches. Partizan will look to use that height advantage against a Midwest All-Stars lineup that features a host of former college stars, led by NBA veterans Mateen Cleaves and Scott Pollard along with ex-Wisconsin standout Joe Krabbenhof.

Doors will open at 4:00 p.m. with a youth contest scheduled to begin at 5:20 p.m. Tickets will be on sale on gameday at the Fitness and Recreation Center’s main entrance, however, individuals can purchase them in advance by calling 1-888-215-7067.

Adults will be charged $15 for entrance, while children under the age of 16 can gain admission for $10. Purdue Calumet students are encouraged to attend and can enter the game at the discounted price of $10 with their PUC ID.
