2. Tyson Walker looks like he's back

It may be too early to say, but over the past few games, Tyson Walker has looked healthy and he's back to hitting shots that he has been accustomed to hitting over the past couple of years.

Although he wasn't as aggressive as I would've liked him, he finished 7-for-12 from the floor and led all scorers with 19 points. From the start of the game, you could tell he was on his game as he was hitting shots from all over the floor and he even had a heat-check 3-pointer on a breakaway that set the tone and extended Michigan State's lead.

What's even better about his 7-for-12 shooting is the fact that he was 3-for-6 from deep which is where he's been struggling from over the past month-plus.

If we see this version of Walker moving forward, I have no hesitation in saying that he's going to lead Michigan State on a deep run.

North Carolina will be an interesting matchup for him.
