WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Zach Edey had 24 points and 16 rebounds to help No. 3 Purdue fend off Maryland’s second-half charge and get a 58-55 victory. The Boilermakers have won six straight. They’re also off to the best start in school history at 19-1. Julian Reese scored 19 points to lead the 12-7 Terrapins back from a dreadful first half in which they had just 21 points. The Terrapins made it a one-point game with 5.3 seconds left on two free throws from Jahmir Young. Braden Smith put it away with two free throws.
