Illinois fails to hold onto halftime lead
Red-hot Spartans sink Illini
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Illinois could have used an upset.
Saying they almost had one is subjective.
The Illini, who have lost five of their last six and 7 of 10, made it a one-possession game against No. 13 Michigan State in the final minute. But the Spartans were red-hot in the second half and held on for a 80-75 victory to remain undefeated at the Breslin Center this season.
