Purdue faces Maryland in a Big Ten game as both teams seek to overcome recent losing streaks.

No. 12 Purdue, reeling from a three-game losing streak despite being ranked No. 1 earlier, faces Maryland in a Big Ten clash as both teams battle slumps. Purdue, now tied for fifth, has lost three straight by six points or fewer, including a 72-67 loss to Indiana, with inconsistent performances from key players like Fletcher Loyer and Oscar Cluff. Maryland, with its worst start since 1988-89, has dropped nine of its last 11 games, including a 91-48 loss to Michigan State, and remains without top scorer Pharrel Payne due to injury. The game offers both programs a chance to regain momentum.
