Kofi Cockburn did not play in Illinois' 56-55 win against the Spartans on Jan. 25, and his presence in the lineup does enough to outweigh both the home court advantage of the Breslin Center and any revenge game edge. Cockburn is one of two players in Division I averaging 20+ points and 10+ rebounds per game, and while Michigan State has a lot of length defensively -- an advantage for Sparty when it comes to guarding the perimeter -- Tom Izzo's group might not have enough beef to limit one of the best big men in the country.
