WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue basketball improved to 19-1 and 8-1 in Big Ten play with a 58-55 victory over Maryland on Sunday at Mackey Arena. 

The Boilermakers jumped to a double-digit lead in the first half, going ahead by as many as 16 points and leading 35-21 at halftime. Despite never trailing, their cushion diminished in the second half as a result of frequent turnovers against a stingy Terrapin defense. 

Junior center Zach Edey scored 24 points on 10-of-17 shooting and finished with 16 rebounds. However, he also led the team with five turnovers. Maryland got within one point in the final seconds, but freshman guard Braden Smith sealed the game by going 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, including 4-of-4 in the final four minutes. 

"When you play a team like Maryland, you know they're going to make that run at you," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "We just weren't as sharp in the second half. You're fortunate to win, right? But it gives you something now going into your next game, like hey, we've got to clean this up."
