Fletcher Loyer makes 7 3-pointers to end his, and No. 12 Purdue’s, brief slump
February 1, 2026
Fletcher Loyer’s slump ended in emphatic fashion — and so did Purdue’s. Loyer scored 29 points, shooting 7 of 10 from 3-point range, and the 12th-ranked Boilermakers trounced Maryland 93-63 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak. Loyer was just 5 for 21 from beyond the arc over his previous five games. Then he made five 3s in the first half alone against the Terrapins. Purdue didn’t let the Maryland crowd hold out any significant hope of an upset. A couple of 3-pointers by Loyer helped the Boilermakers take a 10-2 lead. He made three more during an 11-2 burst that made it 49-24 shortly before halftime.
