Michigan State basketball: Report card for huge win over No. 23 Rutgers

Jaxon Kohler: A

The star of the night had to be Jaxon Kohler. The freshman big man stole the show with his electrifying post moves and scoring around the hoop which was a breath of fresh air. He scored a career-high 12 points with 11 rebounds and showed up on the defensive end as well with three blocks. He was darn near perfect and for that, he gets the highest grade of the night off the bench in 23 minutes.

Tre Holloman: B+

Overlooked in the grand scheme of things, Tre Holloman’s solid performance off the bench should be celebrated as well. He finished with just two points on a nifty drive and score, but he had three assists and looked really good in 14 minutes at the point.

Pierre Brooks: C+

Pierre Brooks didn’t have a great game once again, but it was probably his best in the last 4-5 times out. He shows a willingness on the boards that can’t be overlooked and he scored his first bucket in a few games. He just needs to get his confidence back because he’s not even looking to shoot as much anymore.

Carson Cooper: C

Not a good game, not a bad game. Just kind of an average game (hence the grade) and I don’t really have much to say about it since it wasn’t memorable.
