After witnessing the comeback at Northwestern in person on Saturday I was all set to write about Cassius Winston this week. The incredible second half turnaround doesn’t happen without Winston leading the way, both as a scorer, and a facilitator. He was in complete control in the second half of that game and the team responded to him. He was also playing with extreme confidence, as evidenced by some of the shots he took without hesitation.
It has been said many times by many different people over the course of this season that while Miles Bridges and Jaren Jackson are lottery picks, Cassius Winston is the key to this Michigan State team and how far they will go.
