After it seemed Michigan State basketball had put its problems in the past, a season’s worth of struggles returned for 30 minutes. Missed shots and fouls in abundance. Turnovers that led to points for the Spartans’ opponent, Maryland. Defensive lapses against guards driving to the basket.All coming after one of their best opening 10 minutes of the season.“We’d be better off if we got off to a bad start maybe and won the game, than getting off to a good start and losing the game,” coach Tom Izzo joked after his team’s 68-57 loss to the Terrapins on Thursday afternoon in the Big Ten tournament.
