Champaign, Ill. — As Michigan State huddled one last time Tuesday night at the State Farm Center, there was never a doubt running through Xavier Tillman’s mind.
The Spartans trailed No. 22 Illinois by one with 17 second left in the game. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo drew up a play with a couple different options, but if it broke down, Cassius Winston needed to get in the lane and get the ball up on the rim.
