Julian Reese, who entered Tuesday as Maryland's second-leading scorer at 14.3 points per game, missed all four of his field-goal attempts and finished scoreless in 34 minutes.

The Terrapins shot 33.3 percent from the floor (21 for 63) and 22.7 percent from 3-point range (5 for 22).

Jones' layup just over a minute later propelled Purdue to its largest lead of the game at 47-25.

The Boilermakers maintained at least a 14-point lead the rest of the game to notch their sixth straight victory.

Purdue led 32-19 at halftime after forcing Maryland into eight turnovers and holding the Terrapins to seven made field goals.

Trey Kaufman-Renn and Loyer each made a 3-pointer during the Boilermakers' 8-0 run to start the game.

Edey tallied a trio of dunks as Purdue stymied the Terrapins' offense to stretch its lead.

Maryland missed 11 of its first 12 shots and trailed 16-4 eight minutes into the contest.
