BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Even though the students haven't officially returned from winter break, Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall was loud and ready to support the Indiana Hoosiers as they took on the Northwestern Wildcats in a tough Big Ten conference matchup. Trailing most of the game, the Hoosiers made a run at the end, but it was too little too late as they came up short, losing 84-83. 

Bright spots for the day came from senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis ,who finished the game with 18 points, eight assists, and 24 rebounds. Freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino put up 33 points for the Hoosiers, tying a freshman record set by Eric Gordon in 2007.
