As Cassius Winston stood on the court in Crisler Arena on Sunday afternoon, he broke into a giant smile and you could see the satisfaction wash over him.
Winston was outstanding on Sunday, scoring 27 points and playing every second in Michigan State’s huge road victory over Michigan, 77-70.
Winston was in total control of this game, orchestrating everything.
He had vanquished his nemesis, Zavier Simpson.
And he gave Tom Izzo something special — an unforgettable performance that keeps MSU in contention to win at least a share of the Big Ten.
Simpson outplayed Winston in last season's matchups.
