Cassius Winston’s Long Road Back

As you probably know, Cassius Winston tragically lost his brother Zachary earlier this season to suicide.

Most of us are a great distance from him and we just see him on TV. During the Duke game we thought Tre Jones outplayed him but also wondered how Winston could focus.

As it turns out, his mother decided at the last minute that she couldn’t handle the Duke-Michigan State battle but forgot to tell him. He was looking for her and couldn’t find her which really affected him deeply. He told her it was okay if she didn’t feel she could come but please let him know.
