Jaden Akins , Jase Richardson , Jeremy Fears and Tre Holloman have all stepped up this season .

Coach says the team has been more by-committee than you would think with different players.

Akins and Fears have worked well together and the egos have been put aside, he says.

"Tre has definitely taken some steps for us, having played both the point and at the 2 -guard for us".

Michigan State coach says Jaden has a chance to be a great two -way player.

Coach says he has tried to do things that build selfless nature in his room.

Coach: "Everybody is going through some ups and downs, maybe more so than I've seen week to week in this sport in a long time".
