Michigan State Tops Maryland 58-55 With Buzzer-Beater

In a thrilling Big Ten matchup, No. 8 Michigan State defeated No. 16 Maryland 58-55 with a half-court buzzer-beater from Tre Holloman. The game was tightly contested, with Maryland tying the score at 55 after a late surge, but Michigan State regained control when Holloman hit his dramatic shot as time expired. Despite the loss, Maryland's head coach Kevin Willard praised the atmosphere at Xfinity Center and the effort of his team, though he noted their poor shooting performance, particularly in the final minutes. Michigan State's victory extends their winning streak against Maryland to seven games and solidifies their position at the top of the Big Ten standings. Both teams struggled offensively, with Maryland shooting only 31% from the field, leading to a missed opportunity for a significant win.
