Saturday evening victory for Michigan State basketball in Illinois On the road was a massive victory, and not only because she gave Tom Izzo the new record for the greatest number of victories of any Big Ten coach. As much as it is a sporting cliché to say that a team “ needs a victory ‘a high series in the NCAA tournament.
The Spartans managed to withdraw in the second half to take care of the Illini 79 to 65 fights. Below, we set up our three biggest dishes to take away from the game.
N ° 1: Welcome to Jaxon Kohler Show
During this recent difficult section, Michigan State looked for someone from the team to regularly hit a blow. Jaxon Kohler answered this call on Saturday evening, hitting four of his five three points and radiant absolutely 23 points. He also bounced with aggression and intensity, accumulating 10 plates in the night to accompany two interceptions and a block.
N ° 2: Jeremy’s weaknesses fear that
Before entering it, I must say that I have and I will continue to be a believer of Jeremy Fears Jr. with the way Tom Izzo wants to play, the fears are the perfect leader. He is fantastic during the fast break, and he is a remarkable defender.
That being said, after having missed a large part of his first year season, the fears still have some weaknesses, and the teams have taken these faults recently. These faults are his shots and reversals. The combination of the two almost cost the game to Msu before Kohler took over.
The fears experienced four reversals and fired 2 for 8 on the field, marking only four points in 23 minutes. At this point, the teams do not keep it at all on the perimeter, obstructing painting and makes things difficult in attack. It becomes a problem that I am not sure that Spartans can continue to ignore.
N ° 3: Again, the resilience of this team is outside the graphics
Michigan State lost three of the four in this match, then, at one point, decreased by 16 points in a brutal road environment. Some teams would have abandoned. This team did not do it. And you can say that on each game this year, even losses. Despite the obvious flaws with this team on the offensive side of the ball, they never resigned, and this in itself becomes their superpower.
