Purdue fell from No. 1 to No. 3 after its loss at Northwestern on Sunday.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Jahmir Young scored 20 points and Maryland used a dominant stretch in the middle of the second half Thursday night to rally past No. 3 Purdue 68-54 and deal the Boilermakers their second consecutive loss. Hakim Hart added 13 points for Maryland, which defeated a top-three team for the first time since toppling then-No. 3 Iowa 74-68 on Jan. 28, 2016. Maryland improved to 14-1 at home this season.
Zach Edey and Braden Smith both scored 18 points for Purdue , which has lost three of four, all on the road. That effectively ignited a 10-0 spurt that prompted Purdue coach Matt Painter to call timeout. He tried to again stem the run when Hart hit a 3 to make it 50-41 -- a 21-4 spree at that point. The Terps eventually pushed the advantage to 18 and never saw their lead cut to single digits the rest of the night.
