One of the best traits of a Tom Izzo-coached Michigan State basketball team is its ability to move the ball. The Spartans have been one of the best passing teams in college basketball for decades, and that’s evidenced by their constant appearances on the Big Ten’s all-time assist leaders list.
Jeremy Fears is going to join that list soon enough, and he might end up leading all of college basketball is assists this season.
But it hasn’t been enough over the past 4-5 games, or so.
The Spartans are now 20-5 on the season after another disappointing loss to a Big Ten contender, this time losing to a red-hot Wisconsin team on the road by 21 points.
