Maryland basketball's win vs. Purdue really happened at the foul line

The most exciting statistical element of Maryland's victory against Purdue on Saturday was the Terps' setting a season low by committing only 8 turnovers. But that's not where the Terps really won the game.

Maryland got back to what was once its core offensive strength, in an era when the Terps didn't have post offense and relied solely on Melo Trimble and Dez Wells driving toward the rim and drawing fouls. The Terps beat the Boilermakers by 11 points overall and 22 points at the foul line. And that'show the story of this game was written.
