“When you’re in rhythm and you feel like you’re open, you’ve just got to … pull the trigger and shoot it.” — Stephen Curry
The Spartans turned into the Golden State Warriors of old last night, unleashing a barrage of threes en route to an 80–66 win over Kentucky. It wasn’t an NCAA record, but for this young Spartans season, it was a new high — nearly doubling their previous best from deep.

MSU finished 11/22 from beyond the arc and came out scorching, hitting five of their first seven threes with 15 of their first 17 points coming from deep.
But it hasn’t just been one night. Through four games, multiple shooters have stepped up at different moments. Whether it’s Fort and Teng stretching the floor, Jaxon Kohler cleaning up the glass, or Coen Carr igniting highlight reels from the rafters, this team is proving the offseason doubters wrong. They didn’t lose too much scoring — they just redistributed it.
So let’s dive into the numbers, the roles, and the early-season identity of the Spartans’ shooters.

Jaxon Kohler
The “Kohler Bear” looks primed for a major leap. He isn’t viewed as an NBA prospect right now, but his combination of size, touch, and shooting range might force scouts to take notice.
Kohler feels like the veteran workhorse — the lead running back of this offense. Physical inside, soft-handed around the rim, and capable of stepping out for a three when needed.
He’s the steady wheel that keeps the Spartans car rolling — and likely the favorite to finish as the team’s leading scorer.
