Michigan State Guard Eron Harris Injures Knee vs. Purdue
- February 19, 2017
He will get an MRI when he gets back home. "You have to get on him early and not let him get his head up". With that said, I can see the Illini playing their tails off in a last ditch effort to save Groce's job. Purdue, tied with Maryland and Wisconsin for the Big Ten lead, has to realize this rematch's significance, Swanigan said.
