The game went back and forth early in the second half, with Illinois taking a 65-64 lead with 8:29 left.

Sparty closed the game on a 15-0 run, as Illinois didn’t score the rest of the way, missing it’s last 19 shots.

Michigan State outrebounded the Illini 41-36, with Jaxon Kohler going for a game-high 23 points.
