Jaxon Kohler had some interesting words following Saturday’s loss to Duke. The senior big man and team leader spoke to the media and used the term “wounded animal” this week to describe the Spartans after that heartbreaking loss to the Blue Devils.
That term felt a little harsh, especially since the game was evenly-matched throughout, but Kohler didn’t mean it in a negative way.
Jacob Cotsonika, who covers Michigan State for SI.com, asked Kohler what he meant by the “wounded animal” comment, and his response is exactly why Michigan State has been so good this season and why the term “special” gets thrown around when describing the Spartans.
