Tre Holloman helps Michigan State win without flashy statistics

Tre Holloman, while not the star player and averaging fewer than 10 points, has been instrumental in Michigan State's recent success, particularly in the NCAA Tournament.
Coach Tom Izzo moved Holloman to the sixth-man slot in February, seeking to utilize his shooting and defense to bring energy off the bench.
In the last five games, including the regular-season finale against Michigan, two Big Ten tournament games, and two NCAA Tournament wins, Holloman averaged 12.8 points and hit 47.6% of his 3-pointers, contributing three assists to one turnover.
During Michigan State's 79-62 win against Michigan on March 9, Holloman finished with 20 points and defended the tradition of seniors completing a ritual on the logo after Phat Phat Brooks and L.J. Cason stood on it, leading to technical fouls and a minor shoving match.
With a potential Elite Eight appearance on the line against Ole Miss, and the possibility of a historic NCAA Tournament matchup with Michigan for a Final Four berth, Izzo praised Holloman for protecting the tradition started by Shawn Respert in 1995 and revived by Mateen Cleaves in 2000, which has now spread to other Michigan State sports teams.
