EAST LANSING, Mich. — Bryn Forbes pump-faked, put the ball on the floor and lofted a shot through the hoop.
The slumping shooting guard bounced back and No. 11 Michigan State did, too.
Forbes scored 25 points and Denzel Valentine had 19 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Spartans in a 74-65 win over No. 7 Maryland on Saturday night.
“I felt like I was flowing,” he said. “It felt great to do that again.”
Forbes, who is averaging 13 points a game, had scored a total of five points in the last two home games, both losses, on 1 of 14 shooting combined.
