Purdue improved to 19-1 with the ‘hold on to the seat of your pants’ final 30 minutes victory over Maryland 58-55. The victory allowed the Boilers to set the record for the best 20 game start in program history and sets up the Boilers to be the first major conference team in the country to hit the 20 victory mark against a Michigan team that has struggled to find consistency even with projected lottery pick Jett Howard and former consensus All-American big man Hunter Dickinson.
Purdue will look to their freshman back court to provide the scoring to compliment Zach Edey in the middle who is having a B1G and National Player of the Year caliber season.
