Brad Underwood has his program win.
The Illinois Fighting Illini defeated the Michigan State Spartans on Tuesday night at State Farm Center for their fourth conference win and their third win in four games. This is a result that many Illini faithful had been waiting for.
Unlike John Groce’s win against No. 1 Indiana in 2013, this game won’t propel Illinois to an NCAA Tournament, but it carries a similar importance.
Illinois started the game by playing its best half of the entire season. Ayo Dosunmu led the way with 14 first-half points and proved to be the best player on both ends of the floor.
