Gamecocks guard out with broken foot
South Carolina guard Ramon Galloway will miss from four to six weeks after fracturing his right foot.
Galloway, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, was expected to compete for a starting spot in the backcourt with the departure of former Gamecocks Devan Downey and Brandis Raley-Ross. South Carolina basketball coach Darrin Horn said Galloway's injury was not basketball-related.
Galloway played 31 games and made six starts last season. He averaged nearly eight points a game off the bench and was third on the team with 39 3-pointers.
