Thoughts from Mason Gillis:

“I didn’t know what to expect going into it,” said Mason Gillis, a junior on the basketball team. “I can’t really say it’s turned out how I thought it would be but it’s a positive.

“The one thing I like about Purdue – we always do things by the book and the smart way and not just jump into something. Right now, there’s a lot of conversations about what’s going to happen in the next couple of months.”
