Richardson is a name known to many Michigan State fans and one that has meant a lot in the Spartans coach Tom Izzo's career. Izzo has won one lone title, and it came in 2000, when now freshman Jase Richardson's father Jason Richardson wore the green and white uniform.

Jason Richardson became the No. 5 overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft and went on to play 14 seasons in the league with five different franchises. Just like his father, Jase Richardson is in the middle of leading the Spartans to the Sweet 16.

The lefty combo guard has averaged 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game this year while also shooting over 50 percent from the field. Jase Richardson scored 15 points in Michigan State's first-round victory over Bryant and tacked down six points in their second-round victory over New Mexico.
