In their last game against the Seawolves, Michigan State put up an astonishing 99 points, with an exceptional field goal percentage of 59 and a three-point percentage of 39. Their offensive prowess was complemented by a strong defensive effort that included seven blocks and six steals. The team also demonstrated excellent ball movement with 33 assists, indicating a well-coordinated offense.


Prior to that victory, they secured another win over the Golden Grizzlies with 79 points scored and nearly half of their shots from beyond the arc finding the net. Their free throw accuracy was notable as well, hitting 75 percent from the line.


The matchup before saw them outplay the Bears where they scored 88 points while maintaining an impressive field goal percentage of over 63. They were particularly lethal from three-point range in this game as well, converting two-thirds of their attempts.


The upcoming game at Xfinity Center presents different challenges; playing away could test Michigan State's adaptability and mental toughness. However, given their recent form—especially in shooting efficiency both inside and outside the arc—the Spartans seem poised to take on these challenges head-on.


Fans can expect Michigan State to leverage its high-scoring offense while continuing its aggressive defense that has effectively disrupted opponents' plays in past games. Maintaining high assist numbers will be crucial for creating scoring opportunities against Maryland's defense.


Mark your calendars for January 21st when you can catch all the action live on CBS at 5 PM Eastern Time from College Park's Xfinity Center as Michigan State looks to extend its winning momentum on enemy territory.
