INDIANA HOOSIERS NEWS

Mackenzie Mgbako - Limited usage Saturday Mgbako provided five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 71-65 win over Ohio State.

Impact Mgbako closed the 2023 calendar year with eight consecutive games in double-digit scoring, averaging 13.1 ppg over that span. The return of Big Ten play hasn't been kind to the five-star freshman, however, as he's recorded just 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting through two contests. While Mgbako has all the talent in the world, it's tough to trust him as a fantasy asset when he's at risk of seeing less than 15 minutes in a contest, which has happened on three separate occasions this season.

Malik Reneau - Available vs. Ohio State Reneau (undisclosed) is available for the Hoosiers' game Saturday against Ohio State, according to their X account.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Reneau warming up before the Ohio State game indicated his future availability for said matchup. Having averaged 24.3 points and 8.0 rebounds across his last three games, he will look to continue the positive momentum Saturday. However, Reneau was not as great when the Hoosiers began their 2024 schedule by returning to Big Ten action against Nebraska, a formidable team though.

Xavier Johnson - Available vs. Ohio State Johnson (undisclosed) is available for the Hoosiers' game Saturday against Ohio State, according to their X account.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Johnson warming up was a sign that he would be available Saturday. He will look to redeem himself after beginning 2024 on a sour note. Johnson logged zero points (0-3 FG) and four turnovers across his 15 minutes during the Hoosiers' game Wednesday at Nebraska.

Xavier Johnson - Warming up Saturday Johnson (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Ohio State, Zach Browning of IU Sports Media reports.

Impact Johnson was initially listed as questionable to play Saturday, but the fact that he's dressed and warming up suggests he might be good to go. Johnson has started in his seven appearances this season, averaging 9.0 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in 2023-24.

Malik Reneau - Observed in warmups Reneau (undisclosed) was observed going through warmups for Saturday's game against Ohio State, Zach Browning of WIUX Sports reports.

Impact Reneau's participation during warmups is a positive development in his chances to suit up. Should the sophomore forward be unable to go, Anthony Walker and Kaleb Williams could see their roles increase.

Xavier Johnson - Questionable to face Ohio State Johnson (undisclosed) is questionable to face Ohio State on Saturday.

Impact It's unclear what's going on with Johnson, but it sounds as if he'll be a game-time call for Sunday's matchup against the Seminoles. If he can't go, then his next chance to play will come against Rutgers on Tuesday.

Malik Reneau - Iffy against Ohio State Reneau is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus Ohio State due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Reneau is in danger of missing his first game this season due to an undisclosed injury. If the sophomore forward is ruled out Saturday, Anthony Walker and Kaleb Banks are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Jakai Newton - Remains out Saturday Newton (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against Ohio State, Mike Grimala of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Impact Newton has yet to appear in a game for the Hoosiers, and there is no sign when he'll be cleared to make his debut. Even when healthy, there is no guarantee Newton will see regular minutes in the rotation.
