Jeremy Fears starts for No. 10 Michigan State against No. 5 Illinois after Tom Izzo debated decision‎

Spartans coach Tom Izzo debated whether to discipline the standout point guard with restricted playing time after his sportsmanship was called into question in two straight games. Izzo said on the pregame radio show that he doesn't condone what Fears has done, adding he hasn't done anything to merit a suspension. “He's remorseful,” Izzo said.
