In 20.1 minutes per game in 2023-24, Goode averaged 5.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest for the Illini.  His shooting splits were 45.5% from two, 38.9% from three, and 65.2% from the foul line.

Goode ranked first on the team in 3-point percentage and second in 3-pointers made (61).

Regarded as a perimeter shooting specialist, Goode has made 38.8% of his three-point attempts on 219 attempts over his three years at Illinois.  He has only attempted 46 two-pointers during his college career.

Goode was Academic All-Big Ten each of the last two years.  He has graduated from Illinois with a business degree.

Led by then head coach Archie Miller, IU was involved with Goode’s recruitment when he was a star athlete at Homestead H.S. in Fort Wayne, Ind.  But Miller never extended an offer.
