Heh, if we were in any other region, I liked our chances.  Duke, no matter how up or down they are, they have our number.  Happy to be wrong.

Cassius Winston named 1st team AP All-American, but missing 1st team Consensus All-American by 1 point.

He would have become the 6th 1st team Consensus All-American in MSU history, joining Magic Johnson (1979), Shawn Respert (1995), Mateen Cleaves (1999), Draymond Green (2012) and Denzel Valentine (2016).

He might be better than all of them except Magic.  I didn't watch MSU earlier in the season, but with the injuries to Langford and to a lesser extent Ward, and they now funnel everything through him, and he almost singlehandedly keeps MSU from going through scoring droughts.  Against Duke he made a huge play whenever they needed a bucket, and his ballhandling kept the turnovers very low in the face of a very active Duke defense.  I've been thoroughly impressed.

Man, I don't know. Cleaves might be my favorite MSU player of all time. Not better than Magic, but my favorite. The guy was money, and nobody beats that smile.

I would have bet a good amount of money Steve Smith would be on that list.

quick Shawn Respert story.  It wasn't too many years later where that guy was hanging around college kids I knew playing video games often seen late night at taco bell.  It was weird for me to see him in that way.  I had only known him from his dominance at MSU.  This was before we all knew about his cancer (stomach?).   That guy was a great college basketball player.   Very tough luck story.
