TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State men's basketball's Karmani Gregory was named this week's Hannig Construction Indiana State Student-Athlete of the Week as announced by the athletic department on Monday afternoon.
 
Karmani Gregory made his Indiana State debut week one to remember as the redshirt senior guard scored 20-plus points in both games, added 5.5 assists per game, and was a key factor in the Sycamores' comeback attempt against Charlotte and the win over Ball State.
 
Gregory scored a career-high 29 points in the opening game against Charlotte, shooting 11-of-22 from the floor and added eight assists in the 78-70 loss to the 49ers. Gregory scored 18 of his 29 points in the second half as the Sycamores, including a stretch where he scored 16 of Indiana State's 20 points over the final nine minutes of play.
 
He followed up with a 20-point game in the win against Ball State, scoring 11 points in the first half to keep the game in reach, before adding nine points and an assist in the second half as the Sycamores outscored the Cardinals 37-29.
 
Gregory is just the second Sycamore in recent to make their debut with the program with back-to-back 20-point games, joining Samage Teel (2024-25). His 29 points in the opener against Charlotte is believed to be the most by a Sycamore making their debut appearance since Larry Bird scored 31 points in his first game in the Sycamore Blue & White, according to records on hand.
 
The Hannig Construction Indiana State Student-Athlete of the Week will be announced every week throughout the 2026-27 athletic season.
