Three takeaways from No. 17 Maryland men’s basketball 57-50 win over Purdue

No. 17 Maryland basketball remains undefeated at home after picking up a 57-50 win over Purdue Saturday.

Here are three things we noticed from the Terps’ 14th win of the season.

1. It was a tale of two halves for Maryland

For the first time in a long time, the Terps played with a lot of energy from the opening tip.

Thanks to an old-fashioned three-point play from freshman Donta Scott and a pair of three-pointers from Eric Ayala and Jalen Smith, Maryland jumped out to an early 9-0 lead, causing Purdue head coach Matt Painter to call an early timeout.
