Purdue has been having a bad month, and today was no better as the Boilermakers lost their latest game against Maryland, 68-54. As Purdue falls against Maryland, it is now their third loss in four games, so expect people who keep track of college basketball news to feature Purdue, and try to figure out what is going on.
If you keep track of rankings in sports news, Purdue is at 23-4, and 12-4 in the Big Ten. Their last game was potentially a good one for Purdue, however, late in the game they suffered a 29-4 run over 9 minutes during the second half of the game.
This now brings the team to their second consecutive loss.
Purdue Falls Against Maryland; Can They Rise Again?
There is a lot of potential for them to win. For instance, during this game, star player Zach Edey scored 18 points, and 8 rebound. Rookie guard Braden Smith also scored 18 points. However, their scoring went down during the second half. In addition, none of the other players in the court were able to score as much as the two had.
This is such a hard crash for the tea, who opened the season 22-1 and even hit the No.1 slot in the AP. The team has to do better if they want to earn the top seed in the NCAA tournament. Even if they fall from the top spot, they will still stay up high. There are a lot of strong contenders, so Purdue will have to work hard to maintain the top seed.
Selection Sunday is only less than a month away, so players, bettors, and bookies with a sportsbook pay per head business will have a lot to do. And Purdue will really have to do something about their problem of struggling in the second half of the game. It happened before against Northwestern, and again against Maryland.
