Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament; New York City; Michigan State Men's Basketball; University of Michigan Men's Basketball; Spartans; Wolverines; 

Welcome back after a weekend filled with anguish for MSU men's basketball fans. On today's "Current Sports" with Al Martin we address the semifinal loss for the Spartans against in-state rival Michigan, who went on to win the tourney championship. Al tells you why he's not confident the Spartans can make a run to the Final Four this year, pointing to many questions marks and inconsistencies. Also, Al addresses why the Wolverines  are clicking at just the right time. But, will the week off hurt or help both of these teams? The show ends with some passionate callers weighing-in. And tense hour coming your way!
