WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Maryland men played mostly stout defense for more than 30 minutes Sunday afternoon against eighth-ranked Purdue. But breakdowns down the stretch combined with rugged forward Julian Reese fouling out doomed the Terrapins’ bid for a second straight Quadrant 1 win.
The Terps’ 83-78 loss at Mackey Arena ended their five-game winning streak. Just four days earlier, they had thumped visiting Ohio State in their Big Ten opener. The difference this time was the Boilermakers’ 10-0 run that produced a 67-62 advantage with 5:21 left.
