EAST LANSING, Mich. -- — Jeremy Fears had 17 points and a career-high 17 assists and Coen Carr scored 14 points while adding to his highlight reel of dunks, leading No. 10 Michigan State to a 91-48 win over Maryland on Saturday.
The Spartans (18-2, 8-1 Big Ten) jumped out to a 24-4 lead and didn't let up in the second half, scoring 15 straight points to lead 71-34 with 11:11 to play.

Under first-year coach Buzz Williams, the Terrapins (8-12, 1-8) are struggling with a new-look roster and are ahead of only Penn State in the 18-school Big Ten.
Maryland's Elijah Saunders scored 13 and David Coit had 11.
Michigan State's Carson Cooper had 14 points and eight rebounds, coming off a career-high, 19-point performance at Oregon. Jaxon Kohler scored 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Spartans, who made 61% of their shots and held the Terrapins to 33% shooting.
Tom Izzo's team had a 31-0 edge in fast-break points and its bench outscored Maryland’s 28-13.
The Spartans scored 17 points off turnovers and had 17 second-chance points after hustling for offensive rebounds.
