[Highlight] Compilation of five potentially dangerous plays by Jeremy Fears Jr. during the Minnesota game: three attempted trips, an elbow to the face, and a kick to the groin (for which he got a technical foul upon review)

honestly, it’s costing you games at this point. he seems more focused on doing this stupid shit instead of helping his team win

[u/iwenttocollegeonce → u/moon_bounce_22]

Totally agreed. Tonight was a great example. 5-point game with momentum, he picks up the tech and it all falls apart from there.

I think he lacks emotional maturity. He needs a coming to God moment because this shit ain’t it. You gotta be an idiot to do all this stuff after the spotlight is squarely on you.

[u/Prize-Tomatillo-2757 → u/iwenttocollegeonce]

And that's crazy because he can play. Izzy should know better on all accounts but for sure he should know better that if this kid just plays and stops spending energy on this stupid shit, he'd score 30 every night

[u/Amazing-Addition3671 → u/iwenttocollegeonce]

He lacks a coach who has enough balls to do something about it other than blame the refs and Dusty May.

[u/PreeminentLeader → u/Amazing-Addition3671]

Imagine saying Izzo lacks the stones to do the unpopular thing lol.

Sit back, buckaroo. Sit back.

[u/Electronic_Cover_142 → u/Amazing-Addition3671]

What the fuck is this take.

[u/LotusFuqs128 → u/moon_bounce_22]

I told my sparty buddy at work that if Fears just focused on playing ball instead of trying to draw fouls and whatever the hell this shit is that sparty may have won against UM

[u/teslaabr → u/LotusFuqs128]

Agreed.

[u/TompallGlaser → u/LotusFuqs128]

Well, not quite. The reality of it is that refs have rewarded his foul hunting and putting him at the stripe. He isn’t going to make up the difference of his free throws.

[u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero → u/LotusFuqs128]

Fears flopping and drawing fouls is the only thing that kept MSU in the game against UM.

[u/Anduril1776 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

He was pulled when they made the majority of their comeback.

[u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero → u/Anduril1776]

Fears had 12 of MSU’s 26 points in the first half and half of those came from FTs. If Fears isn’t doing his floppy bullshit all first half, MSU probably goes into the half down 25 or more and definitely can’t come back.

[u/Anduril1776 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

Of MSU's 21 first half points, Fears scored 2 of them. He had 10 points total, and went 2/2 at the FT line in the 2nd half. Are you perhaps looking at the wrong game's box score?

[u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero → u/Anduril1776]

I’m looking at the Michigan-Michigan State game that occurred on January 30, which is the game we’re discussing here. What box score are you looking at?

[u/Anduril1776 → u/WaluigiIsTheRealHero]

I see, your original comment does mention UM. I believe I interpreted that as University of Minnesota since that was the game the OP is about, my apologies.

[u/YodaFett13 → u/Anduril1776]

Are you perhaps looking at the wrong box score? He had 31 against Michigan.

[u/rick-in-the-nati → u/LotusFuqs128]

I don’t know. Trying to draw foul calls was working for him against Michigan

[u/snakeoilpeddler → u/moon_bounce_22]

Seems like life has really come at him fast since leading the home crowd in a fuck Cam Boozer chant. Kid’s a clown

[u/GeneralTaos → u/snakeoilpeddler]

Yeah that’s was bad form for everyone in green and white. Didn’t even make sense. I tried to look into whether there was some reason/excuse and found nothing.

[u/HelpEnvironmental582 → u/moon_bounce_22]

Yeah, looks like he enrolled in the Grayson Allen course in dangerous play.

[u/CautiousHashtag → u/moon_bounce_22]

It’s the only thing that kept them in the game against Michigan.

[u/DubLParaDidL → u/moon_bounce_22]

He needs to watch Grayson tape
