MSU PG Cassius Winston named the Big Ten Player of the Week for second straight week

Last week, Cassius Winston earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors after leading his Spartans past Iowa and Maryland. This week, he won the award again after leading Michigan State past another pair of ranked Big Ten opponents in Penn State and Ohio State.

Winston averaged 20.5 points and 6.5 assists over those two games while shooting 55.6% from the three-point line. His play was a key factor in Michigan State being able to run the table and earn a share of the Big Ten Regular Season Championship.

This is the third time this season that Cassius has won the award.
