INDIANAPOLIS – For the third time this season, IU Indianapolis men’s basketball freshman DeSean Goode has been named #HLMBB Freshman of the Week for his efforts last week. The 6-foot-8 forward had back-to-back career-highs in the scoring column in helping the Jags to a 1-1 record on the road trip. For the two-game trip, Goode averaged 20.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game while shooting better than 76 percent from the floor and hitting 4-of-5 three-point attempts.
Goode opened the trip with a career-high 18 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3’s, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal at RMU on Thursday (Jan. 30). He then followed up with a new career-high 23 points (10-13 FG, 3-3 3’s), eight rebounds and two assists at Youngstown State on Saturday (Feb. 1).
Goode’s 23 points tied for the most in a game by a Horizon League freshman this season and are the most by a freshman in a league game this season. For the season, Goode is third among Horizon League freshman in scoring (8.0 ppg) and tops among rookies in rebounding (5.7 rpg) and double-doubles (3).
