Tensions were running high between two rivals on Sunday as the Michigan Wolverines<\/a> men\u2019s basketball team edged the Michigan State Spartans, 90-80.<\/p>\n

Spartans star<\/a> Jeremy Fears Jr. drew scrutiny in the first half of the game when he kicked toward opponent Elliot Cadeau\u2019s groin. He was called for a technical foul as the video review showed that he swung his right leg backward into Cadeau.<\/p>\n

Cadeau immediately walked toward his bench and called for head coach Dusty May to ask for a replay review.<\/p>\n

“I got fouled, I should have probably just fell,” Fears said after the game. “It\u2019s an unfortunate situation.”<\/p>\n

Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said he didn\u2019t believe that Fears kicked Cadeau on purpose but added that he “chewed him out about it,” during the game.<\/p>\n

“Nobody is tougher on him than me,” he said. “Nobody will be tougher on him than me.”<\/p>\n

Izzo said during an in-game interview with CBS that Fears is under a microscope because of what was said following the previous game.<\/p>\n

He elaborated more after the game.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sick of it being one-sided,” he said. “That\u2019s what upset me about the first time. Fears will get his lunch from me. I wonder if some of their guys will get their lunch from what happened in the first game that didn’t get public.”<\/p>\n

Fears, in a game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, swung his leg backward to hit Langston Reynolds\u2019 groin area and was called for a foul. He received a technical foul on a review.<\/p>\n

He came under scrutiny again against the Illinois Fighting Illini<\/a> when coach Brad Underwood asked officials to look at whether Fears intentionally tripped David Mirkovic after stopping in front of him. Underwood didn\u2019t win the appeal.<\/p>\n

Fears has had a breakout season in his third year with the Spartans. He\u2019s averaging 15.1 points per game and is leading the nation with a 9.1 assists per game average.<\/p>\n

Michigan State finished the regular season with a 25-6 record and a 15-5 record in the Big Ten Conference.<\/p>\n

Michigan, with the win, solidified its Big Ten regular-season title. The Wolverines are 29-2 this season and 19-1 in the conference.<\/p>\n
