Al, Alec and Jack analyze Michigan State's chances heading into this weekend's Big Ten tournament, but is a win in Chicago absolutely necessary?

With the Big Ten conference tournament taking place in Chicago, it's another chance for Tom Izzo's team to play its way into a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. However, with the regular season title already locked up, how important is it for MSU men's basketball to win this weekend? Al and engineers Alec Reo and Jack Kirwan look ahead to the weekend on Tuesday's Segment of the Day.

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
