Michigan State will hit the road again for a major conference battle at top 10 Illinois on Thursday night.
The Spartans enter this matchup looking to get back to winning after their modest five-game winning streak was snapped by Northwestern on Sunday evening. Michigan State is 9-6 overall and 1-3 in Big Ten play this year, and needs a win over the Fighting Illini badly here.
Illinois is also looking to bounce back after a narrow loss at Purdue last Friday. The Fighting Illini have gotten off to a great start to this year, and sit at 11-3 overall and 2-1 in conference play.
Can Michigan State bounce back from Sunday’s tough loss at Northwestern with an upset of Illinois? Check out my prediction and all of the key game details for this matchup between the Spartans and Fighting Illini below:
