EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State's Jeremy Fears is one of the most thankful players in the NCAA Tournament. Fears was relegated to watching March Madness last year, recovering from getting shot.

He bounced back to become a key player for the second-seeded Spartans, who will play 15th-seeded Bryant on Friday.
