East Lansing — For a team that has had its share of problems taking care of the ball at various times this season, a trip to Illinois might not be the best solution to ending a two-game skid.
However, that’s exactly the position No. 9 Michigan State finds itself in as it prepares for Tuesday’s 7 p.m. tip-off against the Fighting Illini at the State Farm Center.
While Michigan State has done a better job in Big Ten play at hanging on to the ball, it’s still going to be challenged by an Illinois team that has forced 370 turnovers this season, the best in the conference.
