Jeremy Fears Jr., a redshirt sophomore guard, has been a standout for the Michigan State Spartans in both ends of court.”I’m never satisfied. I think that his defense could be improved because I believe he is a dog when it comes to defending, which means he will dog you. He’s not a dog at all. He can get after you. When he’s in the mood, he can become a pitbull. We are giving him a rest for 28-29 mins. [per game] It’s probably the best if we do this because he has to push the football, defend the ball and come off the ball screens which can tire you out a bit. I want more from Jeremy, because I am Jeremy. But those numbers are as good as anyone I’ve ever had at Michigan State in a long time,” Izzo said after Michigan State’s win over Detroit Mercy on Friday night.”And he had good numbers against some tough teams.Fears averages 11.8 points per game, 10.4 assists (a Big Ten high), four rebounds, and 2.2 thefts in 31.8 minute of play, shooting 43.6/41.7/90.9. Fears averaged 5.4 assist per game and started 36 games last season. Michigan State, ranked No. 17, is the top-ranked team in the country. This season, Michigan State has been ranked 17th in the country. They have ranked wins against Arkansas (69-66) and Kentucky (83-66). Fears will lead the Spartans in their return to action Tuesday at East Carolina (1 p.m. ET). ET on FS2 or the FOX Sports App. Want great stories delivered to your inbox every day?
