ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Derik Queen had 17 points and 12 rebounds, leading No. 13 Maryland to a 71-65 win over No. 17 Michigan on Wednesday night that gave No. 8 Michigan State at least a share of the Big Ten title.
The Terrapins (23-7, 13-6) have won six of seven games, losing only to the Spartans on a buzzer-beating heave.
The Wolverines (22-8, 14-5) have lost two straight and three of their last four home games, falling out of first place in the conference.
Michigan State has a 1 1/2-game lead with two games left in the regular season. The Spartans, who are 15-3 in Big Ten play, visit Iowa on Thursday night before closing at home Sunday against rival Michigan.
Maryland took control by holding Michigan to a season-low 22 points in the first half while building an 11-point lead.
The Wolverines hurt their comeback chances with nine turnovers in the second half.
Rodney Rice scored 19 points and Selton Miguel had 17 for the Terrapins.
Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf each scored 20 points, and Tre Donaldson added 10 points and six assists for the Wolverines.
Takeaways
Maryland: Kevin Willard’s balanced squad is playing well at the right time, winning 10 of its last 11 to improve its seeding for the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments.
Michigan: Dusty May’s team needed a win to guarantee it would be playing for a share of the Big Ten title Sunday against the Spartans.

Powerball jackpot grows to $1 billion as Maryland’s $1 million ticket winner awaits claim
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.
