Elite Eight Hero Kenny Goins Still Paying Back Loan for Freshman Year at Michigan State

The game-winning three-pointer Kenny Goins hit to send Michigan State to the Final Four will live on forever. Hopefully, it doesn't take him that long to pay off his freshman year of college.

In a recent story in The Athletic by Brendan Quinn, it is explained that Goins's family had to take out a $17,000 loan so he could attend Michigan State for his freshman year when he was a walk-on for the basketball team. Goins redshirted that season and earned a scholarship for the following campaign, but, his family is still paying back the loan from his first year as a Spartan.
