In a game in which neither team made even one third of its shots, it seemed right the deciding free throws would be followed by a few more misses. Brandon Paul made two foul shots that gave Illinois the lead with 45 seconds to play, then missed the front end of two 1-and-1s in the Illini's 42-41 win over Michigan State (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) on Tuesday night.
