Twenty-five years after his lone national title, Tom Izzo has come up short of No. 2.

A long rivalry between Auburn's Tahaad Pettiford and Michigan State's Jase Richardson will continue when the freshman guards lead their teams in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

History is on the line for the Michigan State Spartans, led by Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Fame head coach Tom Izzo, and the Michigan Wolverines, led by Dusty May, if they can clinch a Final Four spot.

Jase Richardson was known as Jason Richardson’s son when he arrived at Michigan State last fall, following the footsteps of his father who played for the Spartans and in the NBA.

Michigan State’s Tom Izzo followed one of the most disappointing losses of his coaching career with a record-setting victory.

The NBA has used artificial intelligence for some time.

The NBA revealed the 15 players Tuesday who will be taking part in the other on-court events besides the All-Star Game in Atlanta, with the overwhelming majority of them pulling double-duty between those competitions and the game itself. They’ll be joined by Portland’s Robert Covington, the only current NBA player who is a graduate of a historically Black college and university. It will be held at halftime of the All-Star Game, while the skills competition and 3-point contest will occur pregame. Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, Memphis, Miami, Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, San Antonio and Toronto have no one participating in All-Star night events.
