Earlier in the game, Maryland had managed to tie the score with just over 40 seconds remaining, setting the stage for a tense finish. After a missed shot by Michigan State, Maryland had an opportunity to take the lead, but a failed 3-pointer attempt by Ja'Kobi Gillespie gave the Spartans one last chance.

With the shot clock turned off, Holloman seized the moment and launched a shot from well beyond the three-point line. The ball sailed through the air as the buzzer sounded, and when it swished through the net, the Michigan State bench erupted in celebration.

Following this thrilling victory, Michigan State now holds a half-game lead over rival Michigan at the top of the Big Ten standings. The win solidifies the Spartans' position as a force to be reckoned with in college basketball this season.
