Twitter reacts to Illini's upset of No. 9 Michigan State

Twitter's always an interesting place to be for Illinois men's basketball.

But rather than the usual frustration, Tuesday night offered euphoria for Illini fans as Illinois rushed to a 79-74 upset victory over No. 9 Michigan State.

Former Illini Meyers Leonard was quick to offer congrats to the Illini.

Okay big fella!! Huge W for the Illini today!!! #ILL https://t.co/0j6Rknzh0B

Much like former Illini Sean Harrington.

Great win for @IlliniMBB over Sparty. Pressure defense had MSU out of rhythm most of the game.
