Michigan State basketball vs. Maryland: Scouting report, prediction

EAST LANSING — It is a loss that haunts Michigan State basketball. And it is one that took control out of the Spartans’ hands in their hunt for a third straight Big Ten title.

All for naught as Maryland turned the Breslin Center silent in a flash with four 3-pointers and a 14-0 run to close out a 67-60 victory Feb. 15.

Two weeks later, the return visit is at hand. And Saturday’s rematch is a critical game for No.
