Michigan State men's basketball win over Penn State; Xavier Tillman's defense; Tom Izzo and Cassius Winston disagreement in huddle; Maryland falls to Rutgers 

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we dive into the MSU men's basketball road victory over Penn State on Tuesday night. The win, in combination with the Maryland loss to Rutgers, means that the Spartans are now tied atop the Big Ten Conference with the Terrapins. If the Spartans defeat Ohio State on Sunday, they will win at least a share of the Big Ten Championship. Al, and former Current Sports engineer Ian Hawley, highight the standout performances in the Spartans win over the Nittany Lions and discuss the high-tension moment between senior guard Cassius Winston and head coach Tom Izzo.
