Favorite Spartans bracket semifinal: Draymond Green vs. Cassius Winston

The final four is set.

After four rounds of voting we have whittled our list of 64 Spartans down to just four names. These four names represent the top of the line in both on-field achievements and off-field charisma. Whichever Spartan is crowned the top of the top, he will have earned it.

Our second semifinal features two of the most beloved Spartans in the Tom Izzo era. Draymond Green has cruised through the tournament thus far. A lot of Michigan State fans have love for Mo Pete, but Green easily defeated him in the elite eight. A worthy one seed, Green has what it takes to win the whole tournament.

First he’ll have to get by the lone non-one seed in the final four. Cassius Winston crushed Mateen Cleaves in the elite eight to punch his ticket to the semis. Prior to the tournament Cleaves vs. Winston was the one seeding I struggled with the most. Whichever one ended up as the two seed would be the most dangerous non-one seed in the tournament. That ended up being Winston and the rest is history. Can Winston get by Draymond Green and punch a ticket to the final? The voters will decide.
