Michigan State Spartans guard Cassius Winston came into Sunday’s game against Binghamton with a heavy heart. His brother, Zachary Winston, died Saturday night when he stepped in front of an Amtrak train, according to the Detroit Free Press.
While some expected Cassius to sit out Sunday, he decided to play. Winston started for the No.1-ranked Spartans, and notched a double-double early in the second half.
Winston, 21, was the focus point of Michigan State’s offense. He went 7-of-16 from the field, scoring 17 points in the 100-47 win. Winston also added 11 assists for a double-double.
