Purdue 21, Maryland 12
Mason Gillis aggressive going to the basket, then strong through contact to score. Purdue's 21-12 lead doesn't feel as large considering Maryland is 4-18 from the field.
Lance Jones is 2-15 in road games this season. (2-11 at Northwestern, 0-4 tonight). Last 3 was an airball.— Sam King (@samueltking) January 3, 2024
