The Maryland Terrapins are set to face the Purdue Boilermakers in a highly anticipated match. Maryland has won eight of its last nine games and is looking to recreate its upset victory over Purdue from last season. The Terrapins boast a strong home record but will face a formidable challenge from Purdue's top-ranked team. Purdue is also set to face ninth-ranked Illinois and is looking to maintain its strong start to the season, having already lost a conference game to Northwestern. The Boilermakers have been getting significant contributions from multiple players, making their lineup more dangerous.
