After a discouraging loss to Monmouth dropped it to 0-2 on the season, the men's basketball team needed a shot in the arm. And senior forward Nate Walton was finally healthy enough to provide it.
Though Walton did not score a point in the Tigers' win over Weber State on Friday, he grabbed five rebounds and dished out seven assists. Then, the following day, he scored a career-high 15 points against Ball State.
Walton's 10 rebounds and 10 assists on the weekend led Princeton in both categories, and though he fouled out late in each contest, his defensive presence down low was instrumental in the Tigers' tournament wins — especially against Weber State's tall front line Friday.
