Marcus Bingham Jr. is coming off the bench for Michigan State in Thursday’s game against Maryland, but it did not take long for the big man to make an impact against the Terrapins!
After entering the game, Bingham went right to work with point guard Rocket Watts. Bingham set a screen and then slipped his defender with a cut to the basket.
It was a clean find by Watts that set Bingham up for the easy dunk:

On the other end of the court, Bingham provided an impact presence with a huge block of a would-be dunk. He recovered beautifully on the play and swatted the ball out cleanly.
