“These guys are pas-
sionate about winning and
getting better and not let-
ting any day pass them,”
Holman said of the great-
est differences between
the 2016 and 2019 rosters.
“They take every day seri-
ously to try and get better
every day, but at the end
of the day the culture has
changed for the aspect of
guys just wanting to win
and be the best they can
be.”
For Holman and Weath-
erspoon, the one-and-done
nature of the NCAA tour-
nament means each game
could mark the final time
they don an MSU jersey.
But there’s a semblance
of pride in that whenever
the ride through March
Madness ends. MSU is in
a significantly better place
than it was when Holman
and Weatherspoon ar-
rived.
“We came in together
so we’ve seen some things
and done some things on
the court that we can nev-
er forget,” Holman said. “
So we’re always going to
be brothers even though
we don’t share the same
blood.”
