The Spartans have leaned on their young guns, as the 4 freshman have really stepped up. Nick Ward in particular has been the biggest spark plug, as he is averaging 21.5 points per game and took Play of the Week last week in the Big 10.
Michigan State has won 10 of the last 15 meetings with the Fighting Illini.
Illinois Fighting Illini
Illinois is starting to catch some fire at literally the perfect time.
Illinois has won 3 in a row and continue to boost their resume and here on Senior Night they certainly could use their seniors to step up in a big way.
Malcolm Hill, Maverick Morgan, and Tracy Adams all have contributed in a big way for the Fighting Illini this season and will be asked to do even more here against a Spartans team that is tough defensively.
