ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- About 37 hours after the end of the season opener, Derrick Walton was back on the court, ready for another tough game.Its early in the season, but Walton is already logging major minutes for Michigan.Walton had 13 points and six rebounds, and Michigan closed the first half strong en route to a 77-65 victory over IUPUI on Sunday. Walton played 36 minutes despite a left ankle he said was still a little stiff after he rolled it in Fridays season-opening win over Howard.Ive got supreme faith in coach (John Beilein). I know he wont push me over my limit, Walton said. We usually push the limit.Zak Irvin scored 15 points for the Wolverines (2-0), who scored the final 13 points of the first half to take a 43-32 lead. They held on to win comfortably despite 22 points from IUPUIs Darell Combs.Moe Wagner scored 13 points for Michigan and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman contributed 12.Matt OLeary scored 13 points for the Jaguars (0-2), and Kellon Thomas added 10. IUPUI had also played Friday, losing at Eastern Kentucky.Im proud of the boys, IUPUI coach Jason Gardner said. To have a one-day prep, really almost like a walkthrough, and guys to be locked in defensively, I thought that was a step as far as showing growth.Michigan trailed 32-30 before Abdur-Rahkman made a 3-pointer with 3:47 left in the first half. Baskets by Ibi Watson and Mark Donnal pushed the lead to five, and then Donnal added two free throws. Abdur-Rahkman and Irvin added baskets in the final minute to make it an 11-point game.BIG PICTUREIUPUI: The Jaguars could have used more scoring from players other than Combs if they were going to make a serious bid for an upset in this game. Against Eastern Kentucky, Combs scored 28 points and none of his teammates had more than 11. It was a similar story against Michigan.Michigan: The Wolverines are making things easy on themselves with their foul shooting. After going 23 of 26 from the line in the win over Howard, Michigan was 16 of 18 against IUPUI. It will be hard for the Wolverines to keep that up, but its certainly an encouraging development for them so far.TOUGH INSIDEMichigan backup D.J. Wilson finished with quite a line: seven points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in 30 minutes. Beilein is pleased with the versatility he provides on defense.D.J. Wilson is really changing the way we guard, where we can switch more because he can guard really five positions right now, Beilein said. Thats really going to help us.FOULSAlthough Michigan shot a terrific percentage from the line, the Wolverines had only 18 attempts. That was an improvement for IUPUI, which allowed 56 free-throw attempts against Eastern Kentucky.I think we reached too much on Friday, Gardner said. I think we were trying to be more mindful -- not reaching, not lunging.UP NEXTIUPUI: Sundays game was part of the 2K Classic, which benefits Wounded Warrior Project. The Jaguars host Howard on Friday as the event continues.Michigan: The Wolverines head to New York to play in a 2K Classic semifinal against Marquette on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.---For more college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtristerCheap Celtics Jerseys .

While the top name coming into the tournament is no stranger to high placements in his career, a few newcomers find their way onto the list at their rookie World Championships.5. Marcin Jankos JankowskiThe fifth spot, like yesterday with the top laners, was a point of contention for me. If we were to base this solely on skill ceiling, I feel like Liu Mlxg Shi-yu would shine over a large portion of this ranking. Team SoloMids Dennis Svenskeren Johnsen came on late in the season, and he was the star in the North American League Championship finals against Cloud9 when his punishing jungle style tormented Will Meteos Hartman all night long.In the end, it was a decision between two of Europes best: Splyces Jonas Trashy Andersen and H2Ks Jankos. The clean, supportive play of Splyces jungler versus the upbeat tempo and game-changing abilities of H2Ks.Jankos edges out the rest of the field just barely. When it comes to picking a player who has the best chance of breaking through as a star on the international stage, Jankos stands out for me. His heavy pressure in the early-game is key to H2Ks success; unfortunately, that got less press due to a certain South Korean import coming in to take the European league by storm at the start of the year.4. Hung Karsa Hau-HsuanOne of the three world-class players in Flash Wolves starting five, Karsa comes in at the fourth spot. Last year was an introduction for Karsa to the Worlds stage. It was a strong first impression with the Wolves getting to the quarterfinals in large part to his carrying ability, along with his partner in crime, Huang Maple Yi-Tang, the teams ace mid laner. Coming into Worlds, his aggressive, carnivore style should serve him as well as it did in the summer season of Taiwans premier domestic league: Karsa secured 28 more kills than the second-place jungler in the competition.The Flash Wolves have a clear weakness -- Im staring at the bottom lane -- and it isnt Hu SwordArt Shuo-Jie at the support role. Itll be up to Karsa and Maple to be the carrying force of the Wolves if they want to go farther than the top-8.3. Kim Trick Gang-yunIn the spring, Trick came to Europe after a tumultuous stay on CJ Entus in his native country of South Korea. His in-your-face style won him his fair share of fans, and G2 Esports won the European LCS off his straightforward offensive play and chemistry with mid laner Luka PerkZ Perkovi?. Tricks statline of a 6.2 kill/death/assist ratio (KDA) and moree than three kills a game put him ahead of the pack, and he was awarded the leagues MVP award.ddddddddddddWhile his play at the Mid-Season Invitational was sloppy to say the least, his summer season was even better than his previous. PerkZ had a down season, and while the added priority of new AD carry Jesper Zven Svenningsen took away from PerkZs overall kills, Trick became more effective with less grey screens in his second season. Well see if his ascension and development as a jungler can continue in his second crack at the international stage.2. Han Peanut Wang-hoThe entire year has been the development of Peanut from a one-dimensional player to a multi-faceted jungler. His progression was so stunted on NaJin due to the erratic roster changes, so the spring season felt like his true rookie season with the Tigers, where he was the full-fledged starter. In his first season, the Battle Ward nickname stuck, with his play being all offense with little anything else, and the blood of his enemies being the best way for his team to see the map.Since losing in the finals of the spring split, however, Peanut has become a more polished player, warding more and showing hes more than just a mechanical maestro. He isnt perfect, and his performance in big game matches will need to get better if ROX wants to win Worlds, but its remarkable to see how far Peanut has come in one year under the tutelage of a strong coaching staff and supportive teammates.1. Ming Clearlove KaiPeanut has been great, but he hasnt been Clearlove, who is having a career year for the ages. He averaged the most kills of any jungler in the league with the least amount of deaths. It isnt that Clearlove is great in one area: hes seemingly great in all of them. Regardless of the meta or the champion pool, you can expect Clearlove to work through any barrier and continue his success. Usually, a KDA isnt the barometer of how truly great a player is, but it kind of says something when Clearlove is three points higher than any other full-time starter in the league.There are a lot of up-and-comers each year, yet Clearlove remains as solid as Lee Faker Sang-hyeok at the mid lane position, and the two continue to get better every year. He was at Worlds in 2012 when his Team WE dynasty fell after a controversial loss in the quarterfinals to CLG.EU, and hes here today on another Chinese dynasty in the form of Edward Gaming.His trophy case already overflowing. The lone spot remaining is for one trophy, and one trophy alone: the Summoners Cup. ' ' '
