BLUFFTON, Ohio - 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!

Bluffton will be back in action on Wednesday, Feb. 19, when the men play host to arch-rival Defiance College in the final home game of the season. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. following the conclusion of the women's game. Come out to the Sommer Center and cheer on your Beavers!
