Maryland men's basketball couldn't finish a late comeback against Purdue, dropping a 83-79 game Saturday at Mackey Arena.
After it appeared the Boilermakers were running away with it, the Terps made a late run thanks to an incessant full-court press. Jake Layman tied the game at 76 on a layup with 2:12 left after a Rasheed Sulaimon steal, but Purdue took a three-point lead on an A.J. Hammons free throw and a Johnny Hill layup, and Maryland couldn't even it up again.
Big men A.J. Hammons and Isaac Haas were too much for the Terps to handle from the very beginning.
