๐Ÿ”ผ Super Spartan. Thereโ€™s a portrait in the Berkowitz Complex of the Breslin Center that features each of the former Spartan menโ€™s basketball players who have gone on to win an NBA championship.

That portrait now needs to be updated, with Xavier Tillman Sr. winning this yearโ€™s NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics!

๐Ÿ”ผ Lookinโ€™ At The Leaderboard. A trio of Spartans teed it up in the first round of the Michigan PGA Womenโ€™s 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.
