๐ผ Super Spartan. Thereโs a portrait in the Berkowitz Complex of the Breslin Center that features each of the former Spartan menโs basketball players who have gone on to win an NBA championship.
That portrait now needs to be updated, with Xavier Tillman Sr. winning this yearโs NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics!
๐ผ Lookinโ At The Leaderboard. A trio of Spartans teed it up in the first round of the Michigan PGA Womenโs Open on Monday!
Incoming transfer Taylor Kehoe is in a tie for second after shooting 2-under 70, Shannon Kennedy is tied for 11th at 1-over, and Michigan State head coach Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll is tied for 22nd at 4-over.
