Mason Gillis after NCAA title game loss

Mason Gillis was stymied by a relentless UConn defense in the national title gmae. Here is what he had to say in the locker room afterwards.

Man are we gonna miss your leadership (and your play)

[@lindseywalker6925]

Personally, I'll never forget this BOILERMAKER era. I've seen every televised game for 2 years, except 2. And I'm not from Indiana. Mason, coming off the bench I appreciate your 3's - but mainly your hustle, defensive and rebounding. Gutsy and serious.

[@johnhaime6412]

Mason - you will be highly successful moving forward. You’ve got it!! Great year!

[@aaronlinn4671]

Mason……A true and beloved Boilermaker!

[@irahartoch1075]

Mason was the heart and soul of this team! Bright future no matter where life takes him!

[@gentrybn]

Youre awesome Mason. A class act and gutsy player who has been through tona of adversity. Looking forward so whatever you decide for next year!

[@davewilliams9978]

Thanks Mason!

[@auntbecca7786]

So proud of you Mason!

Gillis was on a milk carton

Class Act!

Bro mason looks so fine

Next time just don’t run your offense through one ☝️ guy. ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Lol, they are just happy to make it there and number 4🌈😂

[@NealCody]

Where did you graduate. Death by education

[@stripeytawney822]

You seem really happy!! What you obviously forget is ONE team wins it- EVERYONE ELSE LOSES. Lol!! Hehehehehe!! Giggles!! Rickybobby wannabe.

[@brianstidd1164]

Nice 4 rebounds and 0 pts. That'll be the memory of your last game 😂😂

[@jasonnutt3175]

Get a life. These guys poured their heart into this.

[@stripeytawney822]

What is YOUR last memory of sports? Making the team in Jr high? Come on gloating dude- tell us about your championships.

@@stripeytawney822 awe butthurt much? I call it as I seen it. He played like a bitch. 4 rebounds? Seriously?

[@brianstidd1164]

@@jasonnutt3175 Smith and Edey actually tried. The rest of the guys, not so much. If you're gonna lose, lose with dignity. Dont lose like a bunch of bitches.

[@knoxvillian-rm1ic]

Purdue is as NIT team without Edey.

[@gavinhadley7672]

..BS

[@johntibbals4365]

What is the point of that statement? Every team would be different without their best player. The Bulls wouldn't have won 6 championships without Jordan. UCONN would be a different team if Dan Hurley wasn't their coach. My feet would hurt if I wore my shoes on the wrong feet. It's fascinating to me that some people will say Edey sucks, and then those very same people say Purdue wouldn't have even gotten to the tournament without Edey. You can't suck AND be the reason your team made it to the Championship game instead of missing the tournament.

[@lindseywalker6925]

Thanks, Stephen A.

[@lindseywalker6925]

Obviously you're just a troll. Why waste your time? But I'll entertain: It takes an entire ORGANIZATION to go as far as the D-1 NCAA Finals.

[@ANCIENTASTRONAUT]

Tennessee sucks ass, get over it johnny knoxville

[@thomasgerken4664]

Gonna really miss him, I wish he would stay for his final year of eligibility. Don’t know why he’s leaving? But thankful for his work ethic and time with Purdue!
