Records are made to be broken, and one prominent Big Ten record may fall after just one season. Michigan State star Jeremy Fears Jr. is on pace to break one of the more impressive records in the Big Ten that was set just one season ago by Purdue’s Braden Smith. The single-season record for assists in Big Ten history is 313 by Smith one season ago. Now, Fears might be the one to break Smith’s record — that is, if he can out-battle Smith this season as the Big Ten’s top assist man. Fears could break the conference’s single-season assists record — more than likely the Michigan State record — and he’s playing about as good on both ends of the floor as anyone in the country.
