Tough enough?

Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans pretty much define the basketball term "tough." Hard-nosed. Physical. They are the consensus pick to win it all this season, and the main reason is point guard Cassius Winston.

Winston started all 39 games last season, averaging 33.5 minutes per game. He is an excellent shooter, had an outstanding 2.55 assist/turnover ratio, and led the team in steals. His pre-season MVP credentials are very solid. As is always the case with teams in the hunt for a national title, toughness enters into it, both physical and mental. At times Winston will have to carry MSU on his shoulders. He will be tough, without question. Will he be tough enough?
