Indiana transfer Malik Reneau has been one of Miami’s biggest wins in the portal, and he keeps proving it. The 6-foot-9 forward was Miami’s first transfer signee and has thrived in Jai Lucas’ system all season.
Reneau looks like a legit NBA guy and one of the ACC’s best scorers. He showed it again against Syracuse, leading Miami with another big day.
Miami (16-4, 5-2 ACC) jumped out to a 9-0 start and never trailed. After Syracuse tied it at 27, the Hurricanes closed the half on a 7-0 run to take a 41-36 lead. The Orange cut it to two in the second half, but Miami answered with timely threes and free throws to push the lead back to double digits and stayed in control the rest of the way.
Reneau finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds for his sixth double-double. Shelton Henderson added 16 points, while Tre Donaldson and Tru Washington chipped in 16 and 14 as Miami rolled past Syracuse.
