Coen Carr might have just had one of his best games in his young Michigan State basketball<\/a> career. During the Spartans\u2019 73-63 win over Michigan on Saturday, Carr saw more minutes than he usually receives, and man did he take advantage of them.<\/p>\n Carr finished the game with eight points on 3-for-4 shooting. He also was 2-for-3 from the free throw line which is a step in the right direction as well. He was also very active and effective on defense, as he grabbed two steals.<\/p>\n All around, I would say this was one of his better games at Michigan State<\/a>. Especially when you consider it took place on the road in a rivalry game.<\/p>\n Tom Izzo also noticed the impact Carr had on the game, and he commented after the game<\/a> about how some of his plays impacted the game.<\/p>\n You could point to many of Carr\u2019s plays as having a serious impact on the result of the game. His two steals stood out to me. But it\u2019s his high-flying dunks that have the most impact, even if they only count for two points.<\/p>\n Izzo said in his post-game press conference that some of Carr\u2019s baskets \u201cfeel like 3 or 4 points.\u201d<\/p>\n And that couldn\u2019t be more true.<\/p>\n Basketball is a game of runs and momentum. I would argue that nothing gives this team more momentum than a monstrous dunk from Carr, which he had a few of in this game. One came directly off a steal he forced on defense and the second came on a backdoor alley-oop. We see these back door slams all the time in Izzo\u2019s offense, but it feels different with Carr\u2019s athleticism.<\/p>\n HE DOES IT AGAIN. \ud83e\udd2f@Coencarr2<\/a> x @MSU_Basketball<\/a> <\/p>\n \ud83d\udcfa: FOX pic.twitter.com\/XZjJulOWPc<\/a><\/p>\n — Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) February 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTom Izzo comments on Coen Carr\u2019s impact<\/h3>\n
