Last week, Mike Woodson officially named his two captains for the upcoming 2023-24 men’s basketball season: Xavier Johnson and Trey Galloway.
The two are likely to be Indiana’s leaders both on and off the court, with the former returning from an injury and the latter coming off of an impressive season as a full-time starter. Beyond that, they’ll likely make up Indiana’s starting backcourt.
Johnson is entering his sixth year of college basketball, Galloway his fourth. That level of experience is important in determining a team’s floor. What sticks out first about this pairing is its defensive potential.
