Michigan State listed as home underdog vs. Illinois on Saturday

For the first time this season Michigan State will be an underdog on their home floor.

The Spartans enter Saturday’s matchup against Illinois as a 1.5-point underdog. All Betting Lines are Courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook.

Michigan State enters this game in the midst of a tough stretch, where they’ve dropped three of their last four games. That includes blowing a 14-point second-half lead against Penn State earlier this week.

Illinois also is looking to bounce back from a mid-week loss after Rutgers got the best of them on Wednesday. Illinois still remains tied for first place in the Big Ten despite that loss, and will need a win over the Spartans to remain at the top of the league.

Tipoff from the Breslin Center is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET. The game can be seen on ESPN.
