CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — When Illinois heads to Bloomington to play the Hoosiers, a former teammate will be on the opposite bench.

Luke Goode transferred to Indiana after three seasons with Illinois. During last year’s Elite Eight campaign, he became the team’s leader in three-point percentage and appeared in all 38 games.

“At the end of the day it’s all love,” said Illinois guard Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn. “He’s a great player who helped us out a lot last year. So yeah, we’re looking forward to a good little game.”

Goode has played in every game so far for Indiana, averaging 7 points and 2.9 rebounds.

“Luke was a special part of this program, will always be a special part of this program,” said head coach Brad Underwood. “There was no one any more coachable. There was no one that made any more improvement. Luke’s always one of my guys. Luke, Luke’s still an Illini.”

Illinois and Indiana will face off on Tuesday, January 14 at 6 p.m. on Peacock.
