Quote of the Day
“I think I bring something different to the court. A lot of guys want to score the ball and make highlights. I want to run the team, make plays for the team. I’m trying to play winning basketball. If it’s a shot, if it’s pass, if it’s letting someone else bring the ball up, I’m just trying to help my team win.”
– New Purdue signee Omer Mayer
