Tre Holloman made a buzzer-beater from beyond midcourt to give No. 8 Michigan State a 58-55 win over No. 16 Maryland in a sensational finish on Wednesday night.
Holloman’s turnover in the backcourt helped the Terrapins (21-7, 11-6 Big Ten) tie the score with 42.1 seconds remaining, and after a miss by Michigan State’s Jaxon Kohler, Maryland had a chance to win it with the shot clock off. But Ja’Kobi Gillespie missed a 3-pointer, the Spartans (23-5, 14-3) rebounded and Holloman had enough time to put up a shot from a few feet behind midcourt.
Michigan State took a half-game lead over No. 15 Michigan atop the Big Ten.

DUKE’S PROCTOR OUT WITH BONE BRUISE: Duke guard Tyrese Proctor has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee and will miss an undisclosed amount of time, Blue Devils coach Jon Scheyer said on his radio show.
That’s the bad news. The good news: “We’re going to get him back, which is the most important part,” Scheyer said.
Proctor was hurt late in the first half of second-ranked Duke’s 97-60 win at Miami on Tuesday night.
Proctor has started 87 games for Duke over three seasons, all under Scheyer. He’s averaging 11.8 points this season, third-best on the team behind Cooper Flagg (19.4) and Kon Knueppel (13.5), and he leads the Blue Devils with 64 3-pointers.
