Mason Gillis decided to use his final year of eligibility at Duke. The former Purdue star and Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year explained how he made his decision.
For five seasons, Mason Gillis exemplified what it meant to play Purdue basketball. He was a hard-nosed player who brought toughness to the court every single night. Gillis' willingness to do the little things helped the Boilermakers win two Big Ten championships, a Big Ten Tournament title and earn a trip to the National Championship Game during his tme in West Lafayette.
"It was definitely a factor. I wanted to in a position that, No. 1, we were going to compete every single day to be the best players, and then that just results in the national championship," Gillis said. "So, that's our goal, and that was definitely on my mind."
