Indiana basketball forward Malik Reneau named to Empire Classic All-Tournament Team

The Indiana basketball program wrapped up its trip in the Empire Classic on Monday night with a 74-66 win over Louisville in the third-place game.

Indiana went 1-1 in the event with a 20-point loss to UConn in the opener on Sunday.

Indiana basketball forward Malik Reneau received tournament honors, being named to the All-Tournament Team. Reneau averaged 15.0 points and was 10-of-14 from the field in two games.

Reneau, who had 18 points in the opener, was limited due to foul trouble. He fouled out against UConn at the 7:08 mark of the second half. He was nearly unguardable when he was on the floor, however.

Indiana basketball was -15 with Reneau on the bench.

“I think that’s promising, he played great against a great team,” Woodson said about Reneau’s performance against UConn. “He should build on that, he did a lot of great things.”

In five games this season, Reneau is averaging 15.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 blocks per game. He is also shooting 62.2 percent from the field.

He has scored in double-figures in every game.
