The Michigan State Spartans were able to avoid their first four game losing streak in over a decade thanks to some late game heroics.

A Xavier Tillman dunk in the waning moments of Tuesday night’s game against No. 22 Illinois secured a 70-69 win for the Spartans, who earlier had blown a 20 point lead.

Tillman finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Aaron Henry added 13 points.
