CHAMPAIGN - Illinois is in the middle of it's toughest stretch of the year - five straight games against teams ranked inside the Top 30.  Next up is a trip to Michigan State, where the Spartans are ranking 9th in the coaches poll.

It is a five-game stretch that could make or break Illinois' NCAA Tournament chances.  Coming off Sunday's loss to now-No. 1 Michigan, the team feels a sense of urgency to get a win.  That is never easy in East Lansing, but John Groce says his team is looking forward to that chance.
