Michigan State basketball survives Maryland comeback on late Malik Hall bucket

Michigan State once again survived an upset scare thanks to a last second bucket

[mm-video type=video id=01ftc4ewpp9wff2wqm65 playlist_id=01eqbz825g32p3akwt player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01ftc4ewpp9wff2wqm65/01ftc4ewpp9wff2wqm65-379076bcca7186077d5229351d882b10.jpg]

Michigan State once again survived an upset scare thanks to a last second bucket.

The Spartans watched a double-digit lead evaporate in the second half, but were able to still come out on top against Maryland, 65-63, from the XFINITY Center in College Park, Md. on Tuesday. Malik Hall dropped the winning bucket with 1.9 seconds left in the game to push Michigan State past the Terps.

The first half was back-and-forth until the final few minutes when the Spartans went on a big run. Michigan State ended the half on a 10-0 run to take a 35-25 lead into the break.

Michigan State was able to keep their strong end to the first half going after halftime, with the Spartans building an early 15-point lead. However, Maryland wouldn’t go away, using a 11-0 run to cut that lead to just four points.

It was once again a back-and-forth game until the final minutes, with Maryland finally tying it up with 2:40 to go in the game. It would remain tied into the final seconds, until Hall dropped the winning bucket for the Spartans. Maryland’s last second half-court attempt missed to clinch the Michigan State victory.

The Spartans were led offensively by Hall — who dropped 16 points and also grabbed four rebounds. Joey Hauser and Marcus Bingham also reached double-digits in scoring with 10 points each.

With the win, Michigan State moves into a three-way tie with Wisconsin and Illinois for first place in the Big Ten. The Spartans are now 17-4 overall on the season and 8-2 in conference play.

Michigan State returns to the court on Saturday in their second of two road games this week, with a tough trip to Rutgers. Tipoff from the “RAC” is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET and the game can be seen on FS1.

Why Michigan State Will Win

Really, Michigan State is off the bubble – beating Michigan, Ohio State and Illinois in the last six games has something to do with that – but getting bounced out of the Big Ten Tournament right away would at least make things a wee bit iffy.

Motivation won’t be a problem.

What’s the team doing right lately? It helped that Michigan had already won the Big Ten regular season title, and the Spartans got the Illini and Buckeyes at home, but the defense has cranked it up a few notches, the rebounding is still solid, and now they get a reeling Maryland team that …

Why Maryland Will Win

The Terps beat Michigan State a few weeks ago.

Really, Maryland is off the bubble – going on a five-game winning streak has something to do with that – but losing to Northwestern and Penn State over the last two games means getting bounced out of the Big Ten Tournament right away would at least make things a wee bit iffy.

Motivation won’t be a problem.

What did the Terps do to beat the Spartans? The played great D, hit everything – making half of their three – and relied on MSU not being able to shoot a lick.

This is a rising MSU team, but it’s also miserable from three over the last several games. The Terps have to win the battle from the outside and must at least not get obliterated on the boards.

What’s Going To Happen

The Terps will make more threes but they’ll get obliterated on the boards.

The Maryland losses and the power outages against Northwestern and Penn State are really, really concerning. Michigan State will have just a wee more intensity as it makes up for the ugly 73-55 loss from a few days ago.
