EAST LANSING — Xavier Tillman senses something different in his point guard this week.
Cassius Winston, Tillman believes, has something to prove against Michigan's Zavier Simpson.
“Just because of their history, I think he’s just fired up more,” Tillman said Thursday. “And he’s been playing so well lately that I think that’s gonna carry into the game as well.”
No. 10 Michigan State needs Winston to continue to perform like the Big Ten Player of the Year and All-American candidate he has become — especially with starters Nick Ward and Joshua Langford out — when the Spartans face No.
