A 29-4 run in the second half powered Maryland past No. 3 Purdue, which lost its third consecutive road game.
Northwestern, which defeated Purdue on Sunday and Indiana Wednesday, is now one game back of the Boilers in the loss column for first place in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers have four games remaining, three of which are at home.Perhaps the biggest stat is Reese was called for just two fouls while guarding Zach Edey in the post. Edey was able to score 18 points, but needed 16 shots.
Gillis was called for a loose ball foul on Reese going for a rebound. Afterwards, the Purdue redshirt junior received a technical foul. That call got a quieted crowd back into the game, providing a spark for Maryland on both ends of the court. Gillis' tecnhical turned into a four-point play after two Young free throws and a Reese bucket. And it became part of a 29-4 run that put the game out of reach.It was lost in the grand scheme of the game, but Purdue turned the ball over just seven times, which is a promising sign, if there is one, to take away from Thursday's loss.
The Boilermakers had 49 turnovers in the previous three games. At Maryland, Purdue had five turnovers in the first 7:22 of the game, but went the next 19:45 without a turnover. Sam King covers sports for the Journal & Courier. Email him at [email protected] and follow him on Twitter and Instagram
