Illinois presents Michigan State basketball with a golden opportunity on Tuesday night. Will the Spartans impress or struggle against an elite team?
An opportunity will be presenting itself on Tuesday night as Illinois comes to town to face Michigan State for the first and only time this season.
This lone meeting in 2020-21 between Illinois and Michigan State is an interesting one as the Fighting Illini are riding a seven-game winning streak and the Spartans are riding high after a big road win over Indiana.
