  Mullen had an outstanding basketball career under the late great Hall of Fame coach Clem Letich 1931-34. He was a starting forward on teams that won 46 of 55 games, and winning the North Central Conference championship and finishing second in the conference the other two seasons. Pinky was an effective all around player and usually shone brightest against the archrival Bison when he was the top game scorer. In 1934, his senior year, he was named All Conference forward. After graduating with a law degree in 1935 he played some semi-pro basketball with the Crookston, Minnesota Gunners and the Deep Rock Oilers of Fargo.
