Purdue’s playing great basketball out of the gate this year, sitting at 12-1, but Maryland is tough at home and has a very solid team.

Last season Maryland gave Purdue trouble in both matchups. The Terrapins lost 58-55 in West Lafayette in January and bounced back with a 68-54 home win of the Boilermakers in February. College Park is a tough place to play. Just see Maryland’s 8-0 home record this year. I’m backing the LIVE DOG here with the Maryland Terrapins plus the points.
