Indianapolis – Fourteen seconds was all it took to throw a wrench into Michigan State’s chances against Purdue on Saturday in the Big Ten tournament semifinals.
Now, there’s concern that the ankle injury suffered by point guard Tyson Walker might linger, creating problems for the Spartans as they prepare for next week’s NCAA Tournament.
Walker was injured 2:25 into Purdue’s 75-70 victory when he was racing up the court with the ball and stepped on a Purdue defender, rolling his left ankle over before crashing to the floor. He was replaced by A.J. Hoggard, who suffered a similar injury to his left ankle just 14 seconds later.
