Michigan State basketball’s experience, cunning places glory within reach

Michigan State trailed 66-63 with less than a minute and a half to go in the game.

Cassius Winston dribbled at the top of the key, eyes up and alert, yet so, so calm. His hand was up; a preparatory gesture for a cut that Tre Jones had to expect.

Kenny Goins sprinted up to the corner and sidestepped past Jones, and that was when Winston made his move. He jolted to the right and started toward the top of the arc. He got past the line, but Jones matched him step for step. Back to the left.
