This week we breakdown Michigan State Basketball's last two games - a rock fight victory over Northwestern and an infuriating loss to the Indiana Hoosiers.

We head off Grand River where we cover Kirk Cousins tripping on bags, a NIL hoops tournament held at the worst possible location, and Brenda Tracey suing for an insane amount of money.
