Maryland men’s basketball’s 19-game home winning streak, the third-longest in Division I, was snapped Tuesday night in a 67-53 defeat to No. 1 Purdue.
Ahead of Tuesday’s game, Maryland head coach Kevin Willard laid out his plan to stop reigning national player of the year Zach Edey: pray. His prayers were not answered, though, as Edey got whatever he wanted early and often.
Edey finished the game with 23 points — 12 of which came in the first half — while shooting 8-for-13 from the field.
And when Edey was not scoring, Purdue used his gravitational pull to create open 3-point shots.
