Illinois favored over Michigan State basketball in Tuesday’s Big Ten showdown

For a second straight game, the Spartans are listed as underdogs in a Big Ten marquee matchup.

Michigan State is listed as a 5.5-point underdog against Illinois in Tuesday night’s game in Champaign, Ill. All Betting Lines are Courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook.

The Spartans were also underdogs in their last game at Wisconsin, which resulted in a big-time Michigan State win to right the ship. Michigan State enters this game 15-3 overall and in first place of the Big Ten at 6-1 in conference play.

Illinois has also been solid for most of this season at 13-5 overall and 6-2 in Big Ten play. The Fighting Illini, however, have dropped back-to-back games and will need a bounce-back effort to top the Spartans on Tuesday.

Tipoff from the State Farm Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST. The game can be seen on ESPN.
