Tyson Walker is on the doorstep of setting a program record

After scoring in double figures for a 33rd straight game on Saturday evening, Tyson Walker is one performance away from a record.

Tyson Walker is back, everyone. OK, maybe he was never truly gone, but he finally looked like his normal self in Michigan State’s 63-54 win over Maryland.

Walker has been on a little cold streak recently, failing to score over 15 points in three straight games. Again, he hasn’t been bad by any means, but definitely not up to his standards.

That all changed against Maryland where he exploded for 19 points. He also added three rebounds, two assists, and a steal as well. Those 19 points are what we’re focusing on, as he’s now tied for a program record with Kalin Lucas.

Most consecutive double-digit scoring games

Tyson’s 19 points against Maryland on Saturday put him at 33 straight games finishing in double figures. That ties the program record that star guard Kalin Lucas holds.

We all know how great Walker is, and scoring double digits is never that difficult for him, but this record is an amazing feat. Michigan State has had many dominant players and elite scorers over the years, but none have been able to do what Lucas and Walker have.

To add some perspective, the last time Walker didn’t finish in double digits was last season, on Jan. 29 against Purdue. In that game, he finished with nine points, so he honestly could have the record already.

The Spartans’ next game is at Minnesota on Tuesday where Walker will look to set the new program record. He went off against Minnesota the first time they played, scoring 21 points. So if that game and this weekend’s matchup against Maryland are any indication, I think Walker will have this record in just a few short days.
