Michigan is sitting at 5-2 right now with three consecutive wins, including road victories against Texas and N.C. State. To be fair, the Wolverines beat Texas in the Bahamas, so everyone was away from home.
John Beilein has his crew off to the start we pretty much expected. What this team can’t afford though is another serious injury to one of its main contributors.
Derrick Walton Jr. went down to grab his ankle with just under three minutes to play in the first half of Tuesday’s 66-59 win over the Wolfpack, and the Wolverine faithful collectively held their breath as he headed to Michigan’s bench for the remainder of the game.
