YOUR MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS vs. THE ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI
THE BRESLIN CENTER, EAST LANSING, MI
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7th, NOON EASTERN
TV: ESPN
This Illinois team is somewhat depleted, but just won their first back-to-back games in conference play. This game is huge in terms of conference resume for both teams (get used to that being a common refrain). Illinois does shoot threes very well, so be worried if MSU is not defending ball screens well.
This is the game thread for the first Michigan State vs. Illinois B1G basketball matchup. We have three rules here: no links to illegal game streams, no slurs of any kind, and be cool to one another. Enjoy the game, everyone!
GO GREEN, GO WHITE, BEAT ILLINOIS
