3 Michigan State basketball takeaways from night 2 of Moneyball

Bonus take: Jeremy Fears is back

In case you missed this news, Jeremy Fears Jr. was not a member on any of the six Moneyball teams this summer. This news came as a surprise as it seemed his health had improved enough to the point where he was very close to 100 percent.

However, right before tip off on Thursday it was announced that Fears would be replacing Jaden Akins on his team and play in their game. So after we were all left wondering where Fears health was at, we now no longer have to worry about his health.

Michigan State likely was keeping Fears out of Moneyball just to be safe, but him suiting up for even one game shows just how far he has come since December.

Fears finished his game with 19 points including one 3-pointer, a couple free throws and a handful of jumpers and layups. Knowing that Moneyball doesn’t play much defense, this isn’t the most outstanding performance of Fears career, but the only thing that truly matters is that he was able to play in a full contact game and able to find the success that he did.
