Michigan State Men's Basketball Defeats Nebraska; Purdue Upset at Minnesota; Detroit Pistons Playoff Chances; Throwback "Wednesday"

On this hump-day edition of Current Sports with Al Martin, we give a full recap of what happened during Tuesday night's MSU men's basketball win at home over Nebraska. How did the Spartans get the win and what does it mean for Saturday's in-state rivalry matchup against Michigan now that Purdue was upset against Minnesota? Al then tells you why a key moment of the Detroit Pistons season may have turned things around for the better, now placing the team in prime position to make the NBA playoffs. Al also forgets that it's Wednesday, not Thursday, so he provides a special throwback mid-week edition of Current Sports. That, and more!
