Michigan State beats No. 11 Maryland 82-68 in Big Ten upset
Maryland (15-3, 4-1 Big Ten) dressed nine players and played only seven. Sophomore guard Blair Watson, the team's second-leading scorer, tore her right ACL in practice on Wednesday and is done for the season.
The depleted three-time conference champions used an 11-0 run in the third quarter to close to 43-42, but Michigan State (13-5, 3-2) regained control with a 12-1 spurt and cruised to the finish.
Shay Colley had 17 points, seven rebounds and eight assists for Michigan State.
Brianna Fraser scored 17 points and Florida transfer Eleanna Christinaki added 13 in her first start for Maryland. But the Terrapins shot only 39 percent and committed 24 turnovers in their first loss since Nov. 19 at Connecticut.
Michigan State was 0-10 against Maryland in a series that began in 2005.
