The Michigan State Spartans have survived and will advance in the Big Ten Tournament. MSU won their second-round game of the Big Ten Tournament against the Maryland Terrapins, 76-72.
The game script was far too familiar to both Michigan State and Maryland fans. The Spartans led by 20 at one point in the second half, but saw its lead slowly dwindle.
The Spartans turned the ball over 7 times in the final two minutes to give Maryland every opportunity to steal one from the Spartans. The Spartans would eventually hold on and escape yet another Maryland comeback attempt.
