Gillis scores 29, No. 1 Purdue rolls past Penn St. 80-60

Associated Press  

— Mason Gillis routinely demonstrates his shooting prowess at Purdue’s practices. The third year forward made an arena record nine 3-pointers and finished with a career high 29 points to lead the top-ranked Boilermakers to an 80-60 rout over Penn State. “My opening statement is going to be very succinct,” said Penn State coach Micah Shrewsberry, who was an assistant at Purdue before taking the Nittany Lions job two years ago. He made three straight 3s to give Purdue a 44-31 lead, and after Penn State called timeout, Gillis made a mid-range jumper and Ethan Morton added another 3 to make it 49-31. “But it definitely felt amazing.” BIG PICTURE Penn State: Shrewsberry was the first Matt Painter assistant to return to Mackey with a different team.
