EAST LANSING, October 29, 2024 ~ Michigan State basketball defeated Ferris State 85-67 Tuesday evening at the Breslin Center in the final exhibition game of the preseason for the Spartans.
In a balanced scoring effort where 11 players all asserted themselves into the scoring column, it was senior forward Frankie Fidler who led the way. The Omaha transfer finished with 14 points, adding in two three pointers.
Sophomore forward Coen Carr followed closely behind with 12 points of his own, exciting the crowd and his teammates multiple times with alley oop dunks.
“We had 30 fast break points, I thought that was good,“ head coach Tom Izzo told WJR Correspondent Nick Lundberg after the game. “I would give Carr an A+ grade. He scrapped, got loose rebounds, loose balls.”

(CONTINUED) The defense from the green and white was aggressive for the total 40 minutes, forcing 17 total turnovers from Ferris State. While the Bulldogs were busy giving the ball up, sophomore guard Jeremy Fears Jr. and junior guard Tre Holloman were setting up Spartan teammates in the half court and transition. Fears Jr. tallied eight assists while Holloman added nine of his own to lead all players.
MSU managed to finish with a 13 rebound advantage over Ferris, with junior forward Jaxon Kohler adding 11 of his own to go along with nine points.
The green and white will take just under two weeks to tune up their game for the regular season. They will welcome Monmouth to East Lansing for the first game of the non conference schedule on Nov. 4.
