The Terps knocked off the nation’s third-ranked team and madness ensued at XFINITY Center.
It’s over four hours before tipoff on a rainy day in College Park, Maryland. A 6:30 p.m. start time on a Thursday means that most would be battling workday traffic to arrive on time, but for some, a late arrival isn’t an option. Not for a game of this magnitude.
Eric Warbitsky and a group of friends were more than willing to endure the elements with front-row seats to Maryland’s game against No. 3 Purdue as an attainable reward. They came prepared, setting up a tent just outside the student entrance to XFINITY Center long before the game was scheduled to begin, something he said was planned weeks in advance.
