Andre Curbelo Roller Coaster Ride Includes Highlight Moments & Disappointing Lows
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Fans got to see the good, the bad and the ugly from Andre Curbelo.
Following his second and final exhibition game, the Illini sophomore point guard showcased just about everything but the consistency you’re hoping for from a potential All-Big Ten preseason selection.

“It wasn’t his best performance, let’s just put that way,” Underwood said in his post-game media conference.
Curbelo was not made available to media following Friday night’s final exhibition game of the Illini’s preseason.
In the 94-79 victory over Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania, the good for Curbelo was the fact he was forced to play 34 minutes of duty and showed a confidence with the basketball...

Q & A with freshman wing Luke Goode
Fort Wayne, Indiana, native Luke Goode was the first to commit to Illinois in the class of 2021. Goode was a four-star recruit who many did not know a lot about. Michigan State's head coach Tom Izzo, the dean of the Big Ten basketball coaches, hotly pursued Goode. Izzo followed Goode's football games and made every effort to pursue his services. But in the end, Brad Underwood won the battle and now the 6'7" wing wears orange and blue. Along with Goode in the 2021 freshman class is Wisconsin's Mr. Basketball Brandin Podziemski and Florida prep star R.J. Melendez.
