Stephen Nover's Tuesday Underdog Special
(NCAAB) Illinois vs. Michigan State, 02/20/2018 2:00 PM, Score: 61 - 81
Point Spread: 16.00 | -106.00 Illinois (Away)
Result: Loss
Michigan State has covered just one of its last eight games. The Spartans could be distracted by Senior Night and still on Cloud Nine after rallying from 27 points down to beat Northwestern this past Saturday in the greatest comeback in Big Ten history.

Illinois lost to Michigan State by 13 points in the first meeting despite the Spartans shooting a record 68.2 percent from the floor. The Illini have played better since that loss and should have their confidence up after snapping a four-game losing skid with a win against Nebraska on Saturday.

Illinois is 5-1-1 ATS during its last seven visits to Michigan State, too.
