On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we dive into the MSU men's basketball win over Ohio State on Sunday, which gave the Spartans a share of the Big Ten regular-season championship. Al combs through what led to the win and how special it was for Michigan State fans everywhere. Also, we discuss the legacy of Cassius Winston, who is one of the most beloved MSU athletes of all-time, and the emotional rollercoaster that he has undergone this season. We also touch upon the legacy of Tom Izzo, who has now won three straight Big Ten titles for the second time in his career. Time to celebrate, Spartan fans, as we now get ready for the Big Ten Tournament, which begins on Friday evening for MSU.
