Michigan State Basketball 3-Point Underdogs Against Maryland
EAST LANSING – Michigan State basketball hits the road, traveling to Maryland on Sunday, Feb. 28.
It's the third of six contests in 13 days for MSU after a COVID-19 outbreak caused multiple postponements; the Spartans are making them up in the final two weeks.
Michigan State is coming off a 71-67 win over No. 4 Ohio State, putting them on the NCAA tournament bubble.
Following back-to-back top-5 victories, the Spartans are one of 15 teams with five Quadrant 1 wins.
"I didn't think it was the best we played; it was one of the more physical games we've played in," MSU coach Tom Izzo said. "We have a very short turnaround again … we're focusing in on Maryland."
The Terrapins have won four of their last five contests, including a 68-59 win against Rutgers on Feb. 21. Maryland enters the game 14-10 overall and 8-9 in the conference, whereas Michigan State, the winners of three straight, are 13-9.
