2. Tyson Walker breaks out

The Big Ten/ACC Challenge is when Spartan fans will finally get to see what Tyson Walker can bring this team. Up until this point, he has struggled. He has been turning the ball over at an alarming rate all the while not looking for his shot.

He is only averaging 5.6 points this season but he is averaging four assists per game. This game against Louisville will be different. Though he won’t lead the team in scoring because that will be Jaden Akins, Walker will however finish a double-double. He will get 12 points and 10 assists.

Walker will be looking for his shot all night all the while finding his open teammates who will continue to knock down their own shots.

This double-double will be Walker’s first career double-double and it will give him an overabundance of confidence leading into next week which begins Big Ten play.
