With seven seconds remaining, Maryland men’s basketball was down by one point against No. 3 Purdue. After a Purdue inbounds turnover under the basket, Maryland had the chance to walk away from West Lafayette, Indiana with the upset victory.
Graduate guard Fatts Russell inbounded the ball to forward Donta Scott who went up for the layup but could not find the basket as he was double-teamed and the clock ticked down to zero, erasing Maryland’s final upset hopes.
Maryland fought throughout the entirety of the matchup, led by Russell who finished the game with 24 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals but fell just short as the Boilermakers defeated the Terps, 62-61.
