WATCH: Michigan State G Jase Richardson Speaks After Win Over Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- No. 14 Michigan State came away victorious in its road matchup with No. 12 Michigan, 75-62, to take the No. 1 spot in the Big Ten.

Of the four Spartans to finish in double figures in the scoring column, freshman guard Jase Richardson was the one to lead all, as the Michigan State legacy posted 21 points in the victory, while also adding six rebounds.

Richardson once again showed up in a big-time conference game and proved to be a worthy contributor when the stakes are high.

He addressed the media after the win. You can watch some of his availability below:

Below is a transcript from Michigan State coach Tom Izzo's postgame press conference:

Izzo: "I've had a chance to do a lot of things in my career, but not sure I've ever had a seven-day span like the one we just had. And most of the credit should go to my assistant coaches and my players. The job they did with the quick turnarounds and what we went through was unbelievable. We beat a damn good team today. They are hard to guard. They missed some shots, too. I thought the first half, we were awful, and we only had one guy, Jase, that played well, and when I went into halftime, I said we had a chance because I thought we'd be about 15 down the way we played, and then, maybe they didn't make some shots, although, they shot 53%, but the turnovers we had that led to touchdowns were ridiculous. And so, we felt like if we could just do a few things, move the ball a little better, make a couple shots, which for us to make that many 3s was a miracle the way we've been shooting lately. But I really felt like Trey Holloman did a hell of a job and Jase Richardson was unbelievable. And we got lucky. Jeremy [Fears Jr.] banks in his in a shot. We got lucky. And they missed a couple of shots that I think they normally hit. So, well-coached team. They changed it up on us; went zone and man. But I thought our guys responded after a couple tough runs."
