Michigan State basketball: 3 bold predictions for Maryland rematch
Saturday’s Michigan State basketball vs. Maryland game will be Part 2 in the 2023-24 series and it’ll actually be the second edition of the matchup in the past couple of weeks.
In fact, the Spartans beat Maryland just a couple of weeks ago in what turned out to be a thriller in College Park, 61-59. Now in East Lansing, the Terrapins are looking for revenge and this could be one of the better games of an action-packed Saturday with a number of ranked battles.
While this isn’t exactly a top-10 battle, it’s going to have plenty of intrigue.
Let’s dive into some bold predictions.
Michigan State has been bullied on the glass lately and that’s uncharacteristic for a Tom Izzo-coached team and you just knows that’s driving him crazy.
I think that changes on Saturday.
The last time these two teams met, Maryland dominated the glass, out-rebounding Michigan State 37-22 but fortunately it didn’t matter as the Spartans got the last laugh. Julian Reese finished with 12 rebounds and really made the Spartans work for everything. That can’t happen again if Michigan State wants to come away with a big home win.
After getting out-rebounded by 15 against Maryland, the Spartans were then dominated on the glass by Wisconsin and then Michigan. That’s not acceptable and Izzo will make sure it doesn’t continue.
Michigan State will out-rebound Maryland on Saturday night by at least five. This will be a much-needed rebounding bounce-back game.

A Maryland man was sentenced to nearly two years in federal prison for selling fake nursing licenses, diplomas and transcripts, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Maryland.
Patrick Nwaokwu, 55, of Laurel, was sentenced to 21 months, to be followed by two years of probation for the wire fraud scheme, court officials said.
Under a plea agreement, Nwaokwu admitted to conspiring with others to sell fake nursing diplomas and educational transcripts. He also helped the buyers fraudulently obtain nursing licensures that they needed to get jobs in the healthcare field, according to court documents.
Nwaokwu engaged in the scheme through multiple schools, including a Virginia nursing school and Palm Beach School of Nursing in Florida, court documents show. As a result, Nwaokwu and his partners caused more than $1.5 million in damages.
Fake nursing license scheme
According to court documents, Nwaokwu started conspiring with Musa Bangura, 67, of Manassas, Virginia, in 2018 to recruit potential buyers who were looking to obtain nursing degrees.
He sold the buyers fake documents, which falsely claimed that the buyer had completed the necessary courses and clinical training at nursing school to obtain a degree, court documents said. The nursing schools named on the documents were no longer licensed.
Nwaokwu, Bangura and other co-conspirators backdated the fake documents to make it appear that the buyer attended the school before it lost licensure, according to court documents.
Court documents show that between 2018 and July 2021, Nwaokwu also conspired with Jhanah Napolean, 50, of West Palm Beach County, Florida, and Geralda Adrien, 56, of Broward County, Florida, to sell fake RN and LPN degrees from the Palm Beach School of Nursing to people in Maryland.
Nwaokwu charged about $17,000 for the RN degrees and between $6,000 and $10,000 for LPN degrees, court documents claim.
He allegedly told the buyers to list Palm Beach Nursing School on their National Council Licensure Examination but to leave their graduation date blank so it could be backdated. This would make it seem as though the student graduated from the school before it lost its licensure.
By providing the fake documents, Nwaokwu and his co-conspirators helped buyers obtain fake licenses from state-licensed agencies, including the Maryland Board of Nursing, ultimately helping them gain employment in the field, according to court documents.
The scheme allowed unqualified candidates to apply and practice nursing, exposing patients across the state to potential risk of death, injury or serious harm, court officials said.
Bangura was previously sentenced to 13 months in federal prison for his role in the scheme, according to court officials.
