BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Forward Race Thompson announced on his social media pages that he will use his final year of eligibility and play for the Indiana University men's basketball team in 2022-23. He was an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick last season after averaging 11.1 points and finishing 10th in the league in rebounding at 7.5 per game.
"I trust Coach Woodson and his plan for me to develop into the best player I can be to take my game to another level," said Thompson.
He had participated in Senior Night activities at the end of this season but was clear he had not made a decision yet if he would use the extra year of eligibility granted to all NCAA athletes due to the pandemic in 2020-21.
