No. 17 Maryland men's basketball uses best start of season in 57-50 victory over Purdue

With a little under 14 minutes remaining in the first half, Jalen Smith set a screen for Aaron Wiggins behind the arc and then burst right to get an open look. Wiggins saw the defense pull off his teammate and passed the ball to Smith, who drained a three-pointer to put No. 17 Maryland men’s basketball up 13 points against Purdue.

After Purdue’s Sasha Stefanovic missed a triple on the next play, Smith and Wiggins battled with the Boilermakers to corral the rebound. Anthony Cowan Jr. swept in to grab the ball, and after crossing to the other side of the court, threw it to an open Wiggins on the left wing behind the arc.
