February 5, 2026: Michigan State is coming off their first back to back losses of the season and returns home to meet the red hot Illini. Illinois just finished tearing apart their intrastate foe, Northwestern, by 40 in Champaign and are looking for another scalp. MSU’s Big Ten title hopes are on life support and this is a game that they absolutely need.
Adding intrigue to this game is the lineup situation for MSU. As of the recording, we did not have an injury status for Divine Ugochukwu but our expectation is that he is out for at least this game if not more. On top of that, Jeremy Fears is embroiled in controversy about his flagrant foul last night and a sudden reputation as a dirty player that began with Dusty May’s press conference where he called out Fears. Now can Fears navigate his way to playing hard without giving the refs a reason to T him up and can MSU survive the minutes that he will be forced to rest with second backup point guard Denham Wojcik?
