Derrick Walton Jr. ended up doing what he's done so often in the last two months. He took over the game the Wolverines won to move onto Sunday afternoon's (March 19) matchup with Louisville.
Abdur-Rahkman, known as "Rahk" to teammates, became more of facilitator in the second half, dishing out four assists and scoring five more points.
