Indiana basketball takes the court Wednesday for the first time since the news broke that Malik Reneau would not be back for the Hoosiers anytime soon. Reneau went down in the first 30 seconds of the game against Rutgers with a lower-body injury, and head coach Mike Woodson said it was unknown when he would return to the court.
The Hoosiers will take on USC for the first time as both members of the Big Ten conference. This is also the first matchup since 1974 between the Hoosiers and the Trojans when Indiana prevailed 85-60 in March Madness.
The Trojans have had a tough start to Big Ten play, while the Hoosiers have lost just one Big Ten matchup. The Hoosiers are currently ranked third in the Big Ten so far, as they are 3-1 after two big wins over Rutgers and Penn State. Indiana will look to keep their four-game win streak going with a win at home against USC.
The Hoosiers will also want to put on a good performance for Bosnian guard Harun Zrno, who is making his official visit this week.
