After a three-game winning streak, including back-to-back wins over top-five teams, breathed vivacity into NCAA hopes, those hopes came crashing back down to reality Sunday in College Park. The Michigan State Spartans faced their own shortcomings once again in the wake of a brutal Big Ten schedule being crammed into a short time span following yet more COVID-19 impacts to human life almost a year into the ongoing international pandemic. Maryland defeated Michigan State by a final score of 73-55.
After scoring 27 points against Indiana, 20 against Illinois, and 18 against Ohio State, Aaron Henry managed just 11 points against the Terps, going an abysmal 4-for-16 from the field.
