There is no questioning the leadership Michigan State basketball possesses on their team, being a big reason the Spartans have had the success they have had this season. A big part of that leadership team, that deserves a ton of credit, is point guard Jeremy Fears Jr., who is one of the biggest leaders this team has.
While Fears did not do a ton in the scoring column during Michigan State's Sweet 16 victory over Ole Miss on Friday, he did come up with a timely basket late in the game, and was a dog on the defensive end of the court.
Fears spoke with the media in the locker room after the win, and in the way only a leader can, was very detailed in breaking down the performance from MSU and what is next for the Spartans.
Notes:
- Fears touched on the run late in the first half being pivotal for the team to get themselves back in the game
- Sharing what made the difference in the comeback, and overcoming what Ole Miss threw at them
- Talked about the culture Tom Izzo has built and what making the Elite 8 means for the program
- Shared that MSU just needed to relax to get themselves right in the game
- Touched on all things about the game and what it took to close the door on an aggressive defense
