Behind the scenes: How advance scouting helped Maryland top No. 12 Purdue for biggest win of season

The Maryland men’s basketball office at Xfinity Center is church-quiet and eerily calm Sunday morning, given the roller-coaster nature of the Terps’ season. What has turned into the biggest game of the season — against No. 12 Purdue — is just two days away.

Video coordinator Greg Manning Jr. and student manager Brandon Scott will spend the hours before practice scouring over hundreds of video clips showing the offensive and defensive tendencies of the Boilermakers.

The matchup is not only with the Big Ten’s hottest team, which has won eight straight games, but with the league’s leading scorer, junior guard Carsen Edwards.
