Illinois coming off 2 loses last week come home to play the lackluster Michigan State Spartans.
This Illini team is smarting over losing two straight and now face the possibility of a potential 4 game slide. Should Illinois lose to State then Ohio State is next up on the schedule Saturday at 11 am (Corn time). (Illinois will beat OSU you heard it here first).
On to the Game
Illinois plays much better at home as a team it shows in the numbers on both Offense and Defense. When I looked at comparing these two teams I considered both home and road stats. Here is what I see.....
Illinois has the edge in PPG, FG%, FT%, Turnovers and Bench.
State has the edge and it is ever so slight in Defense and Rebounding.
The Spartans when you look at the numbers on the road they are not very impressive this year.
Illinois is at home it is a MUST WIN GAME, This is not a homer call, But I can see Illinois covering 4, the line is exact with my numbers hopefully it will come down to 3
Illinois 71- The Spartans-66
