The Maryland men's basketball team outlasted Purdue on Saturday, 72-61, in one of the Terrapins' ugliest and simultaneously impressive efforts of the season.
The No. 4 Terps were decidedly off for the majority of the evening, mostly buoyed by forward Robert Carter Jr. and a boisterous home crowd of 17,950. But the Terps charged ahead to put away the 18th-ranked Boilermakers in the game's final five minutes, with Rasheed Sulaimon and a previously cold Melo Trimble joining Carter to give Maryland the space it needed.
Carter had one of his greatest games, mixing 19 points with 7 rebounds and 3.
