According to Sports Illustrated, Trimble was inadvertently kneed in the head by a teammate. The team then announced the freshman guard would be out for the rest of the game with a head injury.

Trimble was leading the Terps in scoring with 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting and seven rebounds before he left. His absence was certainly felt by Maryland as it attempted to overturn its deficit against the Mountaineers. They would end up losing 69-59.
