It's a Travis Tate version of the Bandwagon, which means at least 25% more awesomeness - plus tennis, Winter Olympics, the NBA and a lot more!

Jeff George Jr. threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, the second a 16-yard strike to Sam Mays that gave Illinois a 31-27 win over Michigan State.
 
The win broke a two-game losing streak for the Illini (3-6, 2-4 Big Ten). It also extended the Spartans' misery. Michigan State (2-7, 0-6) has lost seven in a row.

The Illini baseball team stays alive in the Big Ten Tournament with a 2-0 shutout of Michigan State Friday.  They play Michigan at 1 p.m. Saturday, and hope to play them again Saturday evening for a shot at the championship game.

 Michigan State hit 85 percent of its free throws, while Illinois converted less than 29 percent of its shots from the floor
