Huge one today. We'll see which Maryland squad shows up, but as long as it's the one that usually does at home, I like their chances. Though if I were a betting man, Purdue +5 would look pretty tasty.

Suliamon with his first stupid turnover.

Big Bob Carter feeling it early!

[NestMinder]

10-0 Purdue run and they're up 20-18. Terps missed some layups and open jumpers in that stretch.

[NestMinder]

30-27 bad guys at the half. Neither team looks particularly impressive or sharp.

[NestMinder]

Melo to Stone for the flush. What a pass. Terps up 58-53 with 2:30 to play.

[Ravenswintitle]

Great 2nd half. That's a well balanced team.

Terps hit their FTs down the stretch to seal it. Hit 12 of final 13. Final: 72-61.

And I'm reminded once again why I'm decidedly NOT a betting man

I was there. The atmosphere was electric. Great, gutty win!

they are not going far, rebounding is a huge issue

Which is strange considering the size they have with Stone, Carter, Dodd, and Layman.

Pretty sure they had the same # of rebounds as Purdue and their starters had more than theirs. The defense down the stretch was solid
