MADISON -- Tuesday is a crucial night for the Big Ten. Four of the top five teams in the conference face each other. Michigan State faces off against Purdue later while Illinois takes on Wisconsin in the Kohl Center, where no opposing team has won this season.
Something to watch for tonight is junior forward Mike Tisdale's injured knee, which he hurt last week against Iowa and Illinois coach Bruce Weber said it's still bothering him. Tisdale insisted Monday that it does not limit his mobility, but with Wisconsin's smaller lineup, keep an eye on Tisdale's mobility.
The weather may be holding up some fans as the Kohl Center is slowly filling up. In the starting lineup for Illinois are D.J. Richardson, Mike Davis, Bill Cole, Demetri McCamey and Tisdale.
