Andre Curbelo To Transfer From Illinois

The University of Illinois' Andre Curbelo will be leaving. He tweeted the following:

Illini Nation . . . where do I begin? These past two years have been insane. So many amazing moments and some hard times that we had to battle through. I am so thankful I could be a part of this program. Without my teammates and staff, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish the all of that things that I did personally & that WE did collectively. I'm thankful I was a part of two amazing teams here at The University of Illinois & for the relationships I have made. I'm thank for all of the support from The Orange Krush, you all were my energy and the reason I never stopped pushing. Unfortunately, my time here at the UIUC has come to an end & I have decided to enter the transfer portal.

Curbelo, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, averaged 7.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists for the Illini.
