BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana head coach Archie Miller was very clear about what he expected from freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis when the Hoosiers traveled to Minnesota to take on the Golden Gophers Wednesday night.
"I told him after we got home from Michigan, 'You can't be the best player on any given night and, for whatever reason, you don't feel like traveling with us. You don't have to travel with us to Minnesota.' " said Miller, referencing Jackson-Davis' less-than-stellar outing vs. Michigan last weekend. "He's my guy, and tonight, he delivered."
Jackson-Davis scored a career-high 27 points on 11-of-15 shooting to go with a career-high 16 rebounds in a critical 68-56 win in Minneapolis.
