Maryland vs. Purdue Predictions

Purdue fell from No. 1 to No. 3 in the latest AP poll, as the Boilermakers have lost twice in their last three games. A 64-58 loss at Northwestern on Sunday was shocking, and Purdue will look to rinse that bitter taste out of its mouth in this tricky road game at Maryland.

Say what you want about Maryland, but the Terrapins have been strong at home. Maryland is 13-1 at home this season, and you better believe the crowd at the Xfinity Center will be ready for this matchup against a top five team. Purdue won the first matchup between these teams with a narrow 58-55 victory at home.

The Boilermakers are in a tough spot at the moment, as the Big Ten schedule is relentless. Maryland needs this game to strengthen its NCAA Tournament resume, and everyone in College Park knows it. The Terrapins have been an outstanding home team, and that should continue in this vital matchup.
