WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The No. 3-ranked Purdue Boilermakers look to bounce back from just their fourth loss of the season, hosting Maryland on Super Bowl Sunday on CBS. The two teams have played an incredibly-competitive series as nine of the previous 11 meetings have been decided by single-digits with five of them coming by four or fewer points. This will be the only matchup this season between the squads.
Purdue enters with a 21-4 mark, while Maryland is 11-13. Purdue is 8-3 in quad-1 games, while Maryland is 3-7 (Florida, Northwestern, Illinois).
The contest will be televised on CBS with Spero Dedes and Clark Kellogg on the call. On the radio waves, Rob Blackman and Bobby Riddell will be courtside on the 22-station Purdue Radio Network and online on the Varsity Sports Network (app). Live stats will be provided on PurdueStats.com and updates will be provided on Purdue's official Twitter account (@BoilerBall).
