For the second time in three weeks, the Bluffton University Men's Basketball team will house the Heartland Collegiate Player of the Week. Senior Andrew Renner (Cairo/Bath) has been named the HCAC Player of the Week just two weeks following Dezman Brown's (Elyria) recognition.
Renner put up 27.0 PPG for the week, including a career-high 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting, as the Beavers downed Hanover for their 6th straight victory on Saturday.
He was a ballistic 4-of-5 from three-point land with a 35+ footer at the buzzer which sent it to overtime in Bluffton's 76-72 win over Hanover on Saturday afternoon. Renner hit 21-of-37 (56.8 percent), including 6-for-10 (60 percent) from distance, for the week. He also pulled down 6.5 RPG and drilled all six of his free throws.
Renner moved up to 17th on Bluffton's all-time scoring list with 1,189 career counters, surpassing Jerry Burrey who was inducted into the Bluffton Athletics Hall of Fame.
