After a pair of road games, Michigan State returns home on Tuesday to begin a six-game stretch that’ll make or break their season. The first team up is No. 4 Illinois.
The Spartans will host one of the best teams in the country on Tuesday night, looking to build off Saturday’s upset victory over Indiana. The Spartans currently sit at 11-9 on the season and 5-9 in the Big Ten play so a win over Illinois would be huge for their NCAA Tournament resume.
Illinois enters this game on a seven-game winning streak, and only a couple games back of Michigan for first place in the Big Ten.
Let’s take a look at this match-up, with game details, things to watch, and last but not least my prediction for this game.
