From College Notes on Brian "the Custodian" Cardinal's Wikipedia page


College Notes

Brian Cardinal is second in career starts at Purdue with 125, behind E'Twaun Moore. His career 259 steals at Purdue is the second most in school history behind Chris Kramer's 260 (2006–2010). His Freshman record with 51 steals in the 1996–97 season was also surpassed by Chris Kramer's 64 a decade later. He received the nickname, "The Custodian", due to the way he cleaned the floor diving for loose balls. Brian left Purdue being the only Boilermaker to receive both the "Mr. Hustle" Award and the"Courage" Award four years in a row. On November 28, 2008, ESPN's Jay Williams compared North Carolina's Tyler Hansborough to Brian Cardinal's style of play.
