After an impressive 3-0 start to MSU Basketball's Hell week (4 games in 7 days) Michigan State falls on the road to Maryland 73-55. The game started with a Maryland 11-0 run in the first 4 minutes and MSU could never overcome that bad start. Tired legs look to hold back the Spartan offense and Maryland's defense forced MSU to look at outside shooting for their primary offense. While MSU's tournament bid still looks okay, with what's left on the schedule, another Tom Izzo streak looks like it will end unless the Spartans go undefeated this week against Indiana and two games against Michigan.INTRO MUSIC: "Flavour" by Wataboi
