Michigan State Basketball: Cassius Winston displays incredible strength in tragedy

Was there ever a doubt regarding how strong Cassius Winston was? If there was, those those doubts have been squashed in one fell swoop.

The senior point guard learned he lost his younger brother on Sunday morning after he was hit by a train. No one wants to hear this kind of news, especially on the day of the Spartans’ home opener, but Winston was the recipient of the horrible news as Zachary, who also plays basketball for Albion, was struck by an Amtrak train.

When the news broke, everyone expected the veteran point guard to take time off to be with his family, but that’s not the case.
