On today's episode of Current Sports with Al Martin, Al leads the show discussing Michigan and Michigan State basketball. Listen as Al gives his thoughts on both teams roughly halfway through the college basketball season and tells you why both sides should appreciate what we are watching. In segment two, Al recalls a story that Brendan Quinn of The Athletic and The Big Ten Network's The Journey released this week about Nick Ward's personal struggle last season with his mother's health. Al closes the show by providing a weather forecast for Sunday's AFC Championship game between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs that proves to be in favor of "The G.O.A.T.," Tom Brady.
