Maryland men’s basketball hasn’t had a shortage of difficult tests this season, but a trip to West Lafayette, Indiana, and a date with No. 3 Purdue in front of one of the nation’s best crowds at Mackey Arena may be the toughest.
The Terps will head to Purdue with confidence after beating Michigan, 64-58, at XFINITY Center Thursday night. It was a welcomed flipping of the script from Maryland’s 35-point loss at Michigan on Jan. 1, its worst since joining the Big Ten. Maryland remained perfect at home in league play, improving to 12-6 overall and 3-4 in the Big Ten.
