INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – No. 12 Indiana played without Trey Galloway on Sunday due to precautionary reasons. Galloway was not in uniform for pregame warmups as the Hoosiers prepared for a 5:30 p.m. ET tipoff against the Miami of Ohio Redhawks, and after the game, Indiana coach Mike Woodson said the junior guard is dealing with a minor knee injury.

"As far as Gallo, he is just banged up. He twisted his knee the other night at Xavier, and we're just being cautious to make sure he is OK,'' Woodson said. He also expects him back soon. Indiana (4-0) plays again on Wednesday at home against Little Rock.

The third-year guard from Culver, Ind. has dealt with back, wrist and groin injuries throughout his Indiana career, and most recently underwent groin surgery this offseason. He missed 15 games last season due to injury and played in 20 games with three starts. 

Galloway averaged 5.5 points and 1.7 rebounds per game with 36 total assists and 18 steals during the 2021-22 season. As a freshman, he appeared in 25 games with seven starts, averaging 3.6 points and 1.9 rebounds. 

Galloway plays an important role off the bench for the Hoosiers and often played in the closing moments of games last year. 3-point shooting has been Galloway's biggest area of struggle as a Hoosier, shooting 18.2 percent from 3 as a freshman and 21.4 percent last year. He appears to have made improvements to his outside shot this offseason, though, knocking down 2-for-4 3-pointers against Bethune-Cookman and going 2-for-3 from 3 across two exhibition games.
