Magic Johnson Had Giddy Reaction to Michigan State’s Thrilling Win Over Maryland
Something special was in the air when Michigan State’s Tre Holloman pulled up from beyond half-court and sank a buzzer-beating, game-winning three-pointer against Maryland. The Spartans could feel it, and so could alum Magic Johnson.
No. 8 Michigan State walked away with a 58-55 victory over No. 16 Maryland on Wednesday night thanks to Holloman’s miraculous heave, which let out all the air from the arena as the Terrapins’ home crowd could only look on in sheer disbelief.
Johnson, who notably won an NCAA title with the Spartans back in 1979, couldn’t contain his excitement after the wild victory. The Los Angeles Lakers great shared his giddy reaction to watching Holloman clinch the win for his alma mater:
“Tre Holloman hit a half-court shot to seal the victory for my Spartans over Maryland on the road and I just started jumping up and screaming like a little kid. This is their third win in a row over a ranked opponent!” Johnson wrote on X.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo simply called it like it was: A lucky shot.
Nevertheless, Michigan State (23-5) now owns a half-game lead over Michigan in the Big Ten title race, with the Spartans quickly turning things around after a sluggish start to February.
With March just around the corner, Johnson is rightfully excited about the Spartans heating up at the perfect time.
WBFF — A Powerball ticket sold in Lanham has made one lucky player $1 million richer following Wednesday night’s drawing.
The ticket, which matched all five white balls but missed the red Powerball, is one of three significant wins in Maryland from the Dec. 10 drawing. The other two winning tickets include a $150,000 prize in Hughesville and a $50,000 prize in Bel Air.
The $1 million ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven located at 7730 Finns Lane in Lanham, Prince George’s County.
Meanwhile, the $150,000 ticket, which included the Power Play option, was sold at the Jameson-Harrison American Legion Post 238 in Hughesville, Charles County.
The $50,000 ticket was bought at Klein’s Shoprite on North Main Street in Bel Air, Harford County.
None of these winning tickets have been claimed yet, and the Maryland Lottery is urging winners to sign their tickets and store them safely. Prizes over $25,000 must be claimed by appointment at Lottery headquarters within 182 days of the drawing date.
The Powerball jackpot, which has not been won since Sept. 6, has now rolled over to an estimated annuity value of $1 billion, with a cash option of $461.3 million for the next drawing on Saturday night. This marks the seventh-largest jackpot since Powerball began in 1992.
