2. Jaxon Kohler can be a massive difference-maker
While he didn't exactly have his best game, Jaxon Kohler proved that he can make a huge difference when he's on and when he's off.
Early in the game, he was struggling and Michigan State found itself in a sizable hole but when he began to show more confidence in his offensive game, the Spartans came roaring back. He took nine shots which is unusual for him this season but that's kind of where he needs to be. He missed a couple of close ones, but he was making some jumpers that helped extend the lead.
You can tell that Kohler could play a huge role in Michigan State's pursuit for a Big Ten title this year by the way the team feeds off him when he's playing well.
If Tom Izzo can get a more aggressive offensive Kohler, we could see his game take off and the team thrive because of it.
