From continued offensive struggles against top competition to a much-needed boost from a role player, here are three takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s 73-70 road loss to Purdue on Friday.
In a disappointing one-possession loss, it can be easy to look at the two late missed free throws by senior guard Darryl Morsell (Mount Saint Joseph), which would have tied the game at 72 with 19 seconds remaining. But, as Maryland coach Mark Turgeon noted after the game, Morsell was not the only player who struggled from the free-throw line, as the Terps missed 11 of 21 attempts.
