COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Tom Izzo had reason to be proud.

No. 6 Michigan State put together a fierce second-half rally to overcome a 13-point halftime deficit for a 74-68 victory on Sunday at Maryland.

After a slow start. After a short turnaround. At the end of a long week. And with Miles Bridges struggling almost all afternoon, Izzo’s Spartans (20-3, 8-2 Big Ten) won their fourth straight.
