On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we recap last night's MSU men's basketball win over Northwestern at the Breslin Center. How were the Spartans able to put together such a dominant performance? Also, when it comes to how well this team is coming together, how would you compare this team to last season? Al then gets an opinion from a caller and weighs-in on the rocky Detroit Pistons year. The hour is closed out with an NPR piece centered on football and depression. That, and more!
