Tom Izzo Undecided on Discipline After ‘Come to Jesus’ Talk with Jeremy Fears
- At a Friday press conference, Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo weighed disciplining Jeremy Fears Jr. as Divine Ugochukwu will undergo season-ending surgery next week.
- Video showed Fears tripping Michigan player Yaxel Lendeborg last Friday and receiving a deadball technical for kicking Minnesota guard Langston Reynolds' groin on Wednesday.
- Izzo noted Fears leads the Spartans in scoring and assists, and praised his 3.1 GPA and off-court record.
- Izzo could bench or limit Fears for Saturday night's game against fifth-ranked Illinois, while Ugochukwu's absence opens opportunities for Jordan Scott and Trey Fort.
- Coming off consecutive losses, Tom Izzo said the controversy is a legitimate distraction that has taken 'too much of my time' as Michigan State faces a potential three-game skid.
