This will be senior night at Michigan State, which is something the Spartans really enjoy. Every single year there’s a guy who kisses the Spartan head at halfcourt and the crowd goes wild. Expect that to happen once again tonight.

Obviously Michigan State is coming off the biggest in-game comeback in the history of Big Ten play over Northwestern the other day. They might not have had the focus at the beginning of that game and the Wildcats hit for a ton of shots early on, but MSU got tough on defense and found a way to win.

Against Illinois it probably won’t go the same way. Tom Izzo will have his group ready to go, the Spartans have arguably the most talented team in the country and when they are plugged in, they’re good enough to beat anybody. Illinois is in trouble here tonight as the Spartans will be looking for a big win in the final game at the Breslin Center this year.
