COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The Maryland men’s basketball team did not allow No. 3 Purdue out of its rut.
Graduate student point guard Jahmir Young, senior shooting guard Hakim Hart and sophomore power forward Julian Reese combined for 43 points to power the Terps to a 68-54 win over the Boilermakers on Thursday night, prompting many of the announced 17,950 to storm the court at Xfinity Center.
The setback was the second in a row for Purdue (23-4, 12-4 Big Ten) after Sunday’s 64-58 loss to Northwestern and third in its past four games. Its previous three losses had occurred when the Boilermakers were the top-ranked team in the nation according to the Associated Press Top 25 poll.
