#3. Malik Reneau can do a lot with the ball in his hands

Man, oh, man. Reneau was doing it all out there for the Hoosiers. If it weren’t for the performance and double-double by Trayce Jackson-Davis, Reneau was my clear MVP frontrunner in this game.

Reneau recorded 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals in 21 minutes off the bench for Coach Woodson. From passing big to big with TJD to leading a fast break and finding shooters on the wing, this freshman big man is showing how underrated he truly is.

Race Thompson is one of the more valuable guys on this Hoosiers’ roster, and I would never want to take minutes away from the guy, especially because his impact is more than what you can see in a box score. But, how can you ignore the positivity and calmness that Reneau brings to the floor every single game? As a freshman!
