EAST LANSING, Mich., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- Drew Neitzel scored 15 points Wednesday and No. 7 Michigan State overcame a poor shooting night to defeat Illinois 51-41.
The Spartans improved to 19-2, the best record through 21 games in the 109-year history of Michigan State basketball.

Goran Suton added 10 points and 10 rebounds for Michigan State (7-1 Big Ten). The Spartans have won five in a row and 16 of their last 17.
Illinois (10-12, 2-7) was led by seven points each from Mike Tisdale and Calvin Brock.
