#2. Malik Reneau plays career-high minutes and posts his first career double-double

After the Hoosiers took down Elon on Tuesday night, the first thing that Coach Woodson said was how he has to “figure out Malik” and that he only played 15 minutes. In 15 minutes of action, Reneau posted nine points on 4-for-10 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds.

Starting off his career at Indiana, Reneau posted four double-digit scoring nights in his first five games, yet reached 20 minutes of playing time in just one of those games.

Reneau will be handling the bulk of responsibilities unless Trayce Jackson-Davis returns. Hopefully, Reneau gets a chance to be the big man in the post in the starting lineup.
