In an exciting edition of the Big Ten-ACC Challenge, the Michigan Wolverines beat the N.C. State Wolfpack by a score of 66-59. However, it lost one of its most important players in the process.
Star point guard Derrick Walton Jr. went down late in the first half with an ankle injury. After limping off, Walton was in visible pain, throwing a towel over his face on the bench. He limped to the locker room, and the team announced that he would not return for the second half.
Duncan Robinson had a strong game from behind the arc, going 6 of 8 from the field with 17 points.
