AmberAbyss+FollowWhy MSU should celebrate Jaxon Kohler’s steady gameJaxon Kohler’s double-doubles have become so routine at Michigan State that they almost fly under the radar. While Jeremy Fears Jr. got the spotlight for his career night, Kohler quietly put up 16 points and 10 rebounds—right in line with his season averages. That kind of consistency is rare and easy to overlook, but it’s exactly what keeps the Spartans steady game after game.

Do we give enough credit to players who show up every night? #Sports #MSUBasketball #JaxonKohler00Share
