2. Cassius Winston is just that good

When you look at top contenders in every NCAA Tournament, they all have a guy, or multiple players, who can take over games and put their team on their back.

For Michigan State, that’s Cassius Winston.

The junior point guard has had one heck of a career to this point, even winning Big Ten Player of the Year this season but he hasn’t reached the ultimate goal yet which is a Final Four and in a season where everything seems to be falling into place for Winston, a regional title would be perfect.

As long as Winston can stay healthy enough and get the rest if the Spartans can make it out of the first weekend and into the second, the Final Four isn’t out of the question.

Teams will have to game plan so much for Winston and that could mean his assist numbers go way up with the extra attention he garners.

With Winston, the sky is the limit for this team.
