MSU star heaps praise on former Wolverine

Despite the rivalry, the MSU point guard had some compliments to pay to the former Wolverines standout.

This isn’t something you see every day.

It’s no secret that Michigan State and Michigan don’t like each other. The rivalry has only intensified over time, so much so that FS1 recently aired a documentary over the two in-state rivals.

So it’s a little surprising that one of MSU’s biggest stars had something positive to say about one of Michigan’s.

The official Michigan basketball Twitter account posted on Friday that fans can rewatch the 2013 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game when the Wolverines came from behind — courtesy of Trey Burke’s epic three-pointer to tie the game at the end of regulation — and it got retweeted by Spartans point guard Cassius Winston, with a surprise disclaimer.

It probably goes without saying that the green and white faithful won’t exactly be a fan of this.
