How will Illini respond vs MSU?

"Three other teams have been in similar situations in the league and have responded," Weber said Monday. "Wisconsin losing three in a row, Indiana losing [three], Minnesota losing [three]. How you respond to it is so important. All three of those teams responded and came back and got some wins and got on the positive side.

"We have to see what we're about and if we can beat the challenge. It's not going to be easy. Michigan State is a good, quality team."
