MSU coach Tom Izzo became the second recipient of the U.S. Basketball Writer's Association Dean Smith Award for embodying the values of the late North Carolina coach before Saturday's win over Tennessee Tech.

The Detroit Lions picked up a win over the Chicago Bears at home yesterday. Current Sports host Al Martin discusses the hand injury suffered by quarterback Matthew Stafford and a weekend update on MSU men’s basketball.

The NFC North-leading Detroit Lions, at 9-4, found a way to pull out a three point win over the Chicago Bears yesterday at Ford Field. Yet again, Matthew Stafford showed everyone why he is an MVP candidate, crossing the goal line late in the fourth quarter to give Detroit the go-ahead touchdown.

The Lions have won five straight games, eight of the last nine.

Current Sports host Al Martin has a full breakdown of the Lions win, as well as a recap on the MSU men’s basketball weekend.
