BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It could be a big game for Malik Reneau.

Ahead of Indiana's matchup with Little Rock on Wednesday night, Trayce Jackson-Davis (precautionary reasons) was ruled inactive. Indiana coach Mike Woodson inserted the 6-foot-9 freshman Reneau into the starting lineup, and he's been off to a quick start. 

At the 10:55 mark of the first half, Indiana has an 18-11 advantage, and Reneau leads all scorers with eight points on 4-for-6 shooting. Early in the game, Reneau led the Indiana fast break and Euro stepped past the Little Rock defense for an easy layup.
