Michigan State HC Tom Izzo: Jeremy Fears Jr. ‘As Good As Any Guard I’ve Had’
Jeremy Fears Jr. is off to a spectacular start for the Michigan State Spartans on both ends of the floor, and it shows in the box score.Over Michigan State's last two games, Fears has totaled 26 points, 24 assists and five steals, and the redshirt sophomore guard has caught head coach Tom Izzo's attention."I'm never satisfied. I think his defense can be a little better because I think he's an absolute dog defensively, meaning he'll dog you. Not a dog in a bad way. He can get after you. He's a pitbull in that when he wants to be," Izzo said about Fears after Michigan State's win over Detroit Mercy on Friday night. "Now we're getting him a little rest, 28-29 minutes [per game] is probably perfect if we can do that because he's got to push the ball, he's […]
Sparta zdržovala, mínila Boleslav. Vítej v mém světě, řekl Priske kolegovi
Boleslavský trenér Aleš Majer, který byl v hodně chladném odpoledni do utkání tak ponořen, že koučoval jen ve svetru, se u postranní čáry několikrát chytal za hlavu. Sparťanský kouč Brian Priske se pak dostal do výměny názorů s domácí lavičkou a po utkání si vše vyříkával s vedoucím domácího mužstva Markem Matějovským.Reakce aktérů? „Bylo to úplně v pohodě. Nešlo o nic zásadního. Říkali jsme si (s trenérem Priskem - pozn. aut.) něco k tomu, že Sparta hrála v závěru pomalu. On mi to totiž vytýkal po zápase na Spartě, že po 80. minutě za stavu 2:2 jsme pomalu rozehrávali. Říkal jsem mu, že tady je to to samé,“ vylíčil Majer.Zmínka o tom, že zdržovali, hosty nenechala v klidu. „Nepřijeli jsme sem zdržovat utkání. To nikdy není náš záměr, naopak my jsme ten tým, který chce držet tempo utkání. Ale když máte pět minut do konce, vedete o gól, hráči jsou pod tlakem a mají zodpovědnost […]

What now for England after Ashes implosion in Perth?
You head into an intimidating environment with hopes of success and then it goes so epically, spectacularly badly.No, we are not referring to Monty Panesar's appearance on Celebrity Mastermind back in 2019, which made a surprise entry into an eventful Ashes build-up as the former England spinner became embroiled in a spat with current Australia batter Steve Smith Instead, we are talking about England's fortunes in the first Test. As you surely know by now, that match didn't end well for them. It didn't start well for them either (172 all out inside 33 overs on day one) but at lunch on day two they had wrestled control: leading Australia by 99 runs with nine second-innings wickets in hand. Two and half hours later, they had somehow lost, through their own errors and the unbridled brilliance of makeshift opener Travis […]
