MSU hosts #1 Illinois

I will be on my couch, soda and Sun Chips nearby and hopefully the kids in bed early (yeah right) and hopeful of an upset. How MSU can be favored by one, I don’t know, but they do have a shot. Here’s the five things MSU must do to win this game and pull off the upset:

1. Chris Hill will have to get out of his current funk and start hitting some shots again.

2. MSU MUST WIN the turnover battle.

3. Maurice Ager will have to continue his dynamite play.

4. Defense must limit Illinois guards penetration into the lane.

5. Paul Davis must step it up.

Most are obvious, I am not going to pretend to know more than anyone else, but these are some key areas. MSU will have to play their best game of the year and then some to stop Illinois.
