BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 12 points against St. Mary's in the NCAA Tournament first-round game on Thursday and finished the season with 1,588 career points. He broke the 1,000-point barrier on Nov. 17 against St. John's, become the 54th player in Hoosiers history to join the 1,000-point club. 

Jackson-Davis is now No. 15 on the all-time scoring list. He passed Randy Wittman (1,549) at No. 15 during Indiana's win over Wyoming on Tuesday. He finished with 636 points this season. 

Jackson-Davis came into the season with 949 points and when he scored 21 points in the Nov. 9 season opener against Eastern Michigan, he passed Luke Recker (954), Devonte Green (954) and Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas (968) to move into 55th place on Indiana's all-time scoring list. 

He scored 19 points on Nov. 12 to pass Matt Nover, who played at Indiana from 1990 to 1993 and scored 978 points for the Hoosiers. On Nov. 17 against St. John's, he passed Jared Jeffries (1,008 points) to move into 53rd place on the all-time list. 

Indiana guard Al Durham was the most recent player to do it last season. Durham, who opted to play his fifth bonus season at Providence this year, finished his Indiana career with 1,035 points. Jackson-Davis passed him on Nov. 27, and Ricky Calloway is next at No. 49, one point ahead of him.

Jackson-Davis' new coach, former Hoosiers legend Mike Woodson, is fifth on that all-time scoring list with 2,061 points.
