Malik Reneau Returns for Game Against Washington

Indiana's basketball team received good news as Malik Reneau, their second-leading scorer and rebounder, is available for the game against Washington after missing the previous match due to an illness. Reneau, who was hospitalized unexpectedly before the Penn State game, has been performing well, averaging 12.8 points and 5.6 rebounds, and has been instrumental in Indiana's recent victories over ranked teams like Purdue and Michigan State. Coach Mike Woodson confirmed Reneau's presence in Seattle and expressed the team's readiness to adapt with or without him. Reneau's return is crucial as Indiana, currently 17-11, is vying for an NCAA Tournament berth. His absence had led to lineup changes, but his strong performances, including a perfect shooting game against Purdue, highlight his importance to the team.
