Let us now praise Derrick Walton

I remember reading an article about Walton last year. He said he watched every Michigan game as more than just a fan/commit. He watched it as a student. He spent the entire game watching and studying Trey. Derrick has come along way and I am really excited to see what he does against Purdue.

Box score says,,, 19 pts on 7 FGAs, 5 reb, 4 ast, 1 TO... I can't wait to see what he can do when tournament time rolls around.

He played a great game tonight. I'm excited to watch him for the rest of the year and really think he's going to make a big jump next year.

I will admit (tho I am a Spike slappy) that I was almost leaning towards Spike starting, or getting a good amount more minutes after the Iowa game (but like I said, I already liked what he brought before that). But the best thing for this team is Walton being legit and Spike being a great role player. And tonight that was the case... he shined when we needed him. And at the free throw line- holy hell that was huge, on the road especially. Big props to Derrick and I hope he continues and grows form here.

Stauskas JUST WON PLAYER OF YR
Omg. This is fucking great.
January 25th, 2014 at 11:39 PM ^
Remember when state fans were celebrating Trey going pro?
I do. And I remember warning them not to piss their knickers since Derrick Walton was coming in.
Yeah.....

Who simply looks over the MSU player with his finger up like "count it."
January 26th, 2014 at 2:13 AM ^
They also forgot about Mr. Stauskas. Our team brings it and it is a joy to watch very happy for them and enjoying the ride.

Wow great picture, I wanna frame this and put it in my room.

by a player on the verge of being great

was the freshmen. Figured the sophs would hold serve in light of their prior experience at Brelin + tourney experience. Walton delivered in every way possible. If he continues to progress, this is a bitch of team to get out come March. Coach B seems to get guardss; if he can progress LeVert and Walton as we go foreward, look out!!
January 25th, 2014 at 11:54 PM ^
Bitch.

And 1 finger roll dooooooooooeeeeeeeee

Derrick Walton has improved greatly over the course of the season, but with his clutch three-pointer and free throws, I think he has officially come of age. This team looks like it is already prepared to do some damage in the NCAA Tournament.
January 26th, 2014 at 2:16 AM ^
Still a long season to go. If they continue to practice hard every day and take it one game at a time I think we're all going to be very happy. The blessing and curse of the Tournament is that anything can happen but this team has proven that they have a lot of talent and are able to realize that talent no matter what happens the rest of the way. Three top 10 wins in a row are you kidding me. I believe they'll continue to get better and appreciate their hard work and dedication to this season and getting better.
January 26th, 2014 at 3:17 AM ^
Walton really did play great. And we shouldn't forget he is also just coming off a bad case of the flu.

remember when people said the only real success beilein had at M was b/c of Burke?
remember when everyone just thought we got lucky picking out Darius Morris?
remember that time in like 2010 when M was like 2-5 on Feb 1st and Beilein was on the hot seat?
NEITHER DO I BABY
