MSU Basketball at Maryland: Stream, broadcast info, prediction for Sunday

Check out all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Terrapins

Can Michigan State pick up its first road win of the season on Sunday? It won’t be easy but I think it’s certainly possible.

The Spartans head to Maryland for a mid-day matchup against Maryland on Sunday. Michigan State comes into this matchup after picking up a pair of home wins in their last two games but still in search for their first road win of the year.

Michigan State sits at 11-7 overall and 3-4 in Big Ten play entering this matchup. Maryland comes into this tilt with an identical record of 11-7 overall and 3-4 in conference play.

Can Michigan State extend its modest two-game win streak with its first road win of the year on Sunday? Check out my prediction and all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Terrapins below:

Michigan State vs. Maryland: Can Spartans bounce back to save season?

See how the Spartans Wire staff sees the MSU-Maryland game playing out this weekend

This week feels like a game that’ll essentially make or break the entire 2023 season for Michigan State.

Will a challenging schedule ahead, the Spartans already find themselves in a back-against-the-wall situation in their Big Ten home opener against Maryland. Last week’s blowout loss against Washington proved Michigan State will not compete at the highest level of the Big Ten this year, but reaching a bowl game is still in play should the Spartans bounce back this week against the Terps.

Maryland enters this matchup a perfect 3-0 on the year but quite frankly hasn’t been tested yet this year. This will also mark the first road game of the season for the Terps — who have struggled away from home under head coach Mike Locksley with a 6-13 road record since he took over in 2019. It should also be noted that of his six road wins, none were against teams that finished the season with a winning record.

So can Michigan State — who’s listed as a touchdown underdog — pull off the upset and get back on track this week against Maryland? Check out our predictions below:

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.

Why Michigan State Will Win

For all of the problems Michigan State has had – and the pass rush isn’t generating sacks – the defense keeps on getting into the backfield. It started with 11 tackles for loss against Rutgers, and it kept on going from there with a whole lot of pressure and good plays to do its part to keep the team in games.

The defense as a whole hasn’t been a rock, but it’s been good against the run – outside of issues with Iowa, but the secondary stepped up a bit in the blowout loss – and overall it hasn’t been the problem.

Offensively, it’s been a rough run, but the passing game has been able to move a bit. However …

Why Maryland Will Win

The Michigan State quarterback situation is a problem. Payton Thorne needs more time and seasoning, and Rocky Lombardi can’t stop turning the ball over.

The offensive production is last in the Big Ten, there’s no ground game whatsoever, and the turnovers are coming in bunches. MSU didn’t give the ball away against Michigan, and it won 27-24. It gave it up seven times against Rutgers, and lost. It gave the ball away three times against Iowa and four times against Indiana, and lost both games.

Maryland isn’t big on generating turnovers, but it’s not going to lose battle here. Offensively, as long as QB Taulia Tagovailoa can stay hot – he has hit 72% of his passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns with one pick, hitting big play after big play – there won’t be a problem.

MSU doesn’t have the ability to keep up any sort of a pace.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Maryland keep it all going before it had to shut things down before the Ohio State game last week? Can Michigan State be anything but totally miserable after scoring a total of seven points in the last two games?

Sort of, and yes.

The Spartan defense will bother Tagovailoa, and it’ll hold down the Terp running game just enough keep the game alive. Michigan State’s offense will be decent against the Big Ten’s worst defense, and then the turnovers will come.

Michigan State will be better, but the mistakes will still come.
