Former Illini star Eddie Johnson, the sixth-leading scorer in school history, will have his jersey raised to the Assembly Hall rafters Feb. 8 when the Illini host Purdue.

Johnson missed the "Night of Legends" in September when Illinois stars of the past were honored during a  jersey-hanging ceremony.

"I watched it all on the Big Ten Network," Johnson said Thursday. "I was thinking I wanted to be there, that I was missing out on a part of history. Of course I wanted to go back. Those were the best years of my life."
