WATCH: Michigan State G Jase Richardson Reflects on West Coast Trip, Looks Ahead to Oregon

Michigan State freshman guard Jase Richardson didn't have a great trip out West, recording just two field goals between the two losses. Fans will be hoping he gets back to the level of success he was playing at when the Spartans host Oregon.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Since posting a career-high 20 points against Rutgers, freshman guard Jase Richardson hasn't had the best slate of performances.

The Spartan legacy has gone 4-of-18 from the field in the Spartans' last three games combined. For this team to excel, it's going to need Richardson to do so as well.

He will look to do so when Michigan State hosts Oregon on Saturday as the Spartans look to get back on the winning path they had ridden for over two months.

Richardson addressed the media on Thursday, reflecting on the Spartans' West Coast trip while looking ahead to Oregon.

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo also spoke to reporters on Thursday. Below is a partial transcript from his media availability:

Q: How was the team's body language today?

Izzo: "It was fine. Guys, we lost two games. It's different travelling; it's not an excuse, just a different experience. And I thought the day of the USC game, we were about as ready to play as we can [be], and we probably played our worst game of the year. And give them some credit, give us some blame; we were not sharp, we did not rebound like we can, we gave up some things, we missed free throws. The next day, we bounced back and had a good practice, had a great gameplan and a great game, and you just can't turn the ball over 16 to 3. Not one against the press. And so, was it fatigue? Was it them? I don't think so because it wasn't against the press. So, I was disappointed in maybe how we played because I think we were good enough to win two. And, as we always are, we were good enough to lose two. And that's it, that's all it is. No surprises. I told you what I thought would win the league. So, it's move on to the next game. And we had a good, hard, long practice today. Yesterday, we had good, long, hard film sessions. I mean, they couldn't practice; we got in at 6, 7, whatever it was. So, they did a hell of a job, and I'm ready to go."
