Michigan State campus parking police couldn’t even let Tyson Walker celebrate a huge win.

Tyson Walker got to play the role of hero on Sunday night, sending Michigan State to a Sweet 16. With the game on the line, Walker had the guts to take (and make) some incredible shots to lead the Spartans past No. 2 seed Marquette in the Round of 32.

Walker was seen giving post-game interviews after his heroic performance in which he scored a game-high 23 points to go along with two rebounds, two assists, and a steal to put a cherry on top of the big win.

The entire team celebrated in the locker room, spraying water bottles at their Hall of Fame head coach as he walked in with a raspy, but exuberant, “YEAH, BABY.”

When you win a game like this, the ride back home is always a fun one.

For Walker, however, his celebration was cut short because Michigan State campus parking police decided to tow his car.

Absolute buzzkill. Sunday should have been a night of pure celebration around East Lansing. Heck, PACE (MSU campus parking police) should have just taken the night off instead of ruining the vibe, for once.

The dude who hit shot after shot down the stretch and threw down his first in-game dunk as a Spartan (surely no need to fact-check that) and who led Michigan State to a Sweet 16 for the first time since Cassius Winston was treated like a regular Joe Schmo on campus.

PACE has zero chill.

Now we can probably all relate to Tyson. If you’ve attended Michigan State or even spent a day on campus, there a 96.7 percent chance you’ve gotten a parking ticket. If you’re like me, you seemingly had the parking police following you around like a private investigator, waiting for you to slip up.

The rivalry between Michigan State students and PACE is a historic one and it won’t end any time soon.

Now that they’ve gone after a hero like Tyson, it’s only going to get more bitter.
