What to Know

The #3 Purdue Boilermakers and the Maryland Terrapins will face off in a Big Ten clash at 6:30 p.m. ET Feb. 16 at Xfinity Center. If the game is anything like their last meeting in January, where the Boilermakers won 58-55, we could be in for a big score.

Purdue was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 64-58 to the Northwestern Wildcats. Purdue's loss came about despite a quality game from center Zach Edey, who had 24 points in addition to eight rebounds and three blocks. Edey has also now had at least three blocks in his past three games.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Maryland beat the Penn State Nittany Lions 74-68 on Saturday. The Terrapins' guard Hakim Hart looked sharp as he had 23 points along with five boards.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Boilermakers are expected to win a tight contest Thursday. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Purdue's opponents whenever they hit the road.
