He averaged 5.0 points, 4.1 rebounds (ranking fourth on the team), and 2.4 assists (ranking second on the squad). On six occasions, Valentine scored in double figures, including a season-high 14 points against Illinois on Jan. 30 (MSU was 6-0 when he scored in double figures). His first career start was earned in the fourth game of the season, scoring 12 points against Boise State (11/20). Valentine's brother, Drew, was a senior on the Oakland Golden Grizzlies squad that Valentine posted a double-double against, scoring 10 points and grabbing a season-high 10 rebounds, while dishing out a season-high six assists. He grabbed six or more rebounds in 11 contests, leading MSU in rebounding in five contests.

Following his successful freshman year, he was the recipient of MSU's Unsung Player Award (voted on by players).[2]

Sophomore season (2013–14)

As a sophomore, Valentine appeared in 38 games, starting 33, averaging 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 29.4 minutes per contest. He was the only Spartan to appear in all 38 games, ranking second on the team with 33 starts, and third in minutes per game (29.4 mpg). Valentine's season finished strong as he started the final 30 games of the season. He ranked second on the squad in assists (3.8 apg), third in rebounds (6.0 rpg) and fifth in scoring (8.0 ppg), and was the only player in the Big Ten to rank in the Top 15 in both rebounding (t-11th) and assists (8th). In conference games, he ranked seventh in the Big Ten in rebounding (6.4 rpg) and sixth in assists (4.1 apg), while being ranked third overall in the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.1) and second in conference games (2.3).

Valentine's improvement from his freshman year was rewarded.[2] At the season's send, he earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten (Coaches and Media).[2]

Junior season (2014–15)

With Adreian Payne and Gary Harris leaving MSU for the NBA Draft, Keith Appling leaving due to graduation (eventually to the NBA), the dismissal of Kenny Kaminski, and the transfer of Russell Byrd, Valentine saw an increase in leadership and an expanded role on the team. Before the season started, he was awarded one of the three captain spots. He was the only player in the Big Ten to rank in the top 15 in scoring (12th, 14.5 ppg), rebounding (11th, 6.3 rpg) and assists (7th, 4.3 apg). Valentine also ranked in the Top 15 in conference games in scoring (12th, 14,6 ppg), rebounding (t-7th, 6.6 rpg) and assists (7th, 4.1 apg). Valentine filled the stats for Michigan State and ranked second on the team in scoring, rebounding and assists. He was the only Spartan to start all 39 games. In the NCAA Tournament, he averaged 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists. History was made when Valentine became the 48th player in MSU history to score 1,000 career points during his 18-point effort against Oklahoma (3/27) in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. Valentine's three point shooting saw improvement as he ranked fifth in the Big Ten in 3-point field-goal percentage (.416), second in 3-point field goals made (2.6), third in the Big Ten in 3-point field goals made (2.6) in Big Ten games, and he turned in the third-best single-season total for made 3-pointers in MSU history (102).

His other top-scoring efforts include 25 points vs. Marquette (11/28), knocking down six 3-pointers and 25 points vs. Michigan (2/1), adding seven rebounds and seven assists against the Wolverines. In the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, Valentine posted 23 points against Ohio State (3/13) and in the Final Four he scored 22 points vs. Duke (4/4). Valentine proved to be "Mr Versatility" by recording three double-doubles, ranking second on the team, including games against Santa Clara (11/24; 13 pts., 11 reb.), Nebraska (1/24; 21 pts., 11 reb.) and Duke in the Final Four (4/4; 22 pts., 11 reb.).

Perhaps one of Valentine's most memorable moments came on Valentine's Day 2015, he hit the game winning shot in a matchup versus Ohio State and finished with 17 points.[3] His junior season saw him earn Orlando Classic All-Tournament Team (averaging 19.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in three games), Third Team All-Big Ten, USBWA All-District V, and NCAA East Regional All-Tournament Team honors.[2]

Senior season (2015–16)

On November 17, 2015, Valentine became the 4th player in Michigan State history to record a triple-double. He had 29 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in Michigan State's 79-73 victory over the fourth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks.[4] It was the first triple-double of the 2015–16 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.[5] On December 21, it was announced that Valentine would be sidelined for 2–3 weeks after he underwent an arthroscopic knee surgery, he returned on January 10, 2016 after missing.[6][7]

He was named to the 35-man midseason watchlist for the Naismith Trophy on February 11.[8] On February 29, he was named a semifinalist of the Oscar Robertson Trophy.[9] Valentine was also a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award, the Adolph Rupp Trophy, Associated Press College Basketball Player of the Year, and the NABC Player of the Year.

Valentine finished the 2015–16 regular season averaging 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.5 assists as MSU finished in second place in the Big Ten. On March 8, USA Today named Valentine National Player of the Year over Oklahoma's Buddy Hield.[10] The Big Ten also announced that Valentine was the Big Ten's Player of the Year.[11] On March 9, Valentine was named to the Sporting News All-American Team.[12]

Valentine's senior year at Michigan State saw him ranked among the NCAA leaders when it came to three-point shooting.[13] He accumulated many awards and won Michigan State's first College Basketball Player of the Year Award since Draymond Green won the NABC Player of the Year in 2012. Valentine shined during the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis, earning tournament Most Outstanding Player while winning Michigan State's fifth championship.[14] Valentine, along with Bryn Forbes, were selected to the NCAA College Basketball Three-Point Contest following his senior year.[15] Valentine defeated his teammate in the first round of the competition when he rattled off 22 points compared to Forbes' 10. Valentine was eliminated from the competition in the semifinals when he hit 17 points, needing 23 to advance. Valentine's senior year also proved very effective in raising his draft stock. Valentine went from being potentially undrafted to being seen as a potential lottery pick in the 2016 NBA draft.[16]
