Impact Fears has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons of late, and he was again accused of (but never whistled for) intentionally tripping an Illinois player late in the first half. He's now gone three games in a row with this type of incident, but coach Tom Izzo wasn't keen to answer questions about it post-game. Controversy aside, Fears' production has been on point. He had games of 29 and 31 points to close out January, and perhaps more impressively, has racked up 26 assists in the first two games of February. That brings his season-long average up to 9.1 apg, which is the top mark in the country ahead of Purdue's Braden Smith. Despite the antics, Fears appears well on his way to first-team all-Big Ten honors.
