No. 22 Michigan State, 14-2 overall and 4-2 in Big Ten play, visits No. 24 Illinois on Thursday before continuing its road swing at Northwestern; the match against Illinois will air on Big Ten Network. Illinois is 11-6 after a five-set loss to No. 16 Purdue, while Michigan State is coming off a split against Oregon and Iowa. In other volleyball action, Abilene Christian beat UT Arlington 3-1 on Thursday, but UTA rebounded with a 3-1 win over Little Rock on Saturday to end a three-match skid. Utah State, which leads the Pac-12 in kills, assists and digs per set, begins a four-match road trip at San Diego State and Colorado State.
