Michigan State at Illinois Highlights

Thoughts

Illinois is a bad basketball team. I’ll go as far to say I have no idea how they have won games this year. They have little to no offense outside of Pruitt, and even then, he’s really not all that good. They can’t seem to hit a free throw which really killed them last night when they got into the bonus early and missed some freebies.

From the MSU side of things, well, it was a road win they absolutely had to get. And while they didn’t play exceptionally well, they did enough to scrape by. Afterwards, Tom Izzo said that several players were fighting off flu-like symptoms and were vomitting in the locker room after the game. I guess that explains some of their inabilities to put this game away.

A bright spot was MSU pushing the tempo and playing more aggressive defense. Its something many fans have been calling for awhile now. Let’s see if State can parlay this victory and a victory Sunday into a deep run at the Big Ten Tournament.
