Film Session: Western Illinois

  • Nov 7, 2019
 

Juniors Justin Smith and Al Durham Jr. stole the show with a pair of 20-plus point performances in Indiana’s season-opening win against Western Illinois on Tuesday night.

But freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis also quietly put together a strong, confident debut. The Center Grove product went 4-of-5 (eight points) from the floor to go along with six boards, four blocks and one steal.

Jackson-Davis doesn’t waste time when he gets the ball in the post, making quick, athletic moves on his opponent for scores. It’s a skill that fits well in Archie Miller’s system.

We’ll take a look at all four of Jackson-Davis’s scores, as well as one of his blocks during Indiana’s big run in the first half, in the latest edition of Film Session:

Nice little baseline out of bounds set from the Hoosiers here during a period they were struggling to generate offense.
