A week ago, it looked like Michigan State's home opener in the Big Ten wouldn't exactly be the toughest game on the schedule. Purdue, Saturday's opponent, had struggled through a nonconference schedule that included losses to Bucknell and Eastern Michigan. But when the Boilermakers opened Big Ten play on Wednesday against No. 11 Illinois, they proved there will be no easy nights in this conference, handing the Illini just their second loss of the season.

The No. 18 Michigan State Spartans (11-3, 0-1) are coming off a 76-63 loss against No. 9 Minnesota, and the Boilermakers (7-6, 1-0) upset No. 11 Illinois at home on Wednesday. If Purdue plans on spoiling Michigan State’s Big Ten home opener they’re going to have to come with a similar intensity to which they played Illinois with.
