Per IU:
Indiana University men's basketball coach Tom Crean has announced that center Bawa Muniru will leave the men's basketball program and look to transfer to another institution where he can receive more playing time. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.He saw action in just 19 games a season ago and averaged 3.3 minutes per game. He averaged 0.6 points and 0.7 rebounds.
"As a staff, we think the best thing for Bawa is to go to a program where he can play and continue his education," said Crean. "His desire for more playing time was very evident and we told him that his best opportunity to play the minutes he wanted to was likely going to have to happen somewhere else."
Muniru will finish his summer coursework at IU.
"I feel it is in my best interests to pursue my basketball career somewhere else," said Muniru. "I have appreciated my time at Indiana."
"We always want to give our players the best opportunity for growth as a player and as a person," added Crean. "He has worked extremely hard in the classroom and we appreciate all that he has done in representing the program."
