All game long, the ball was in his hands, a Greenergizer Bunny in a sea of yellow jerseys. Dribbling, driving, dishing, laying it in. He never came out. Never took a breather. Finally, after all that action forged a sizable lead, Michigan had no choice but to foul him, foul him, and foul him again. Cassius Winston eased to the line and made, one, two, three, four — ah, forget the counting — seven straight free throws in the final 50 seconds, because he was not letting go of this game.
