A.J. Hoggard, a freshman from Pennsylvania, made his first career start at Nebraska. Is he the long term solution for Michigan State basketball at the one?
Filling in Cassius Winston’s shoes at point guard was never going to be easy, but the struggle has been much more than Tom Izzo and Michigan State expected. In A.J. Hoggard’s first career start, he put up a stat line of four points on 2-of-3 shooting, five assists, three boards and two blocks in 24 minutes of action.
