Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis Gets Multiple Big Ten Honors
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Trayce Jackson-Davis had a great first year at Indiana, and people took notice. He was named third-team All-Big Ten on Monday, and was also chosen to the All-Freshmen team
Jackson-Davis, a 6-foot-9 forward from Greenwood, Ind., who was Mr. Basketball in Indiana a year ago, led the Hoosiers in scoring (13.8 points per game) and rebounds (8.1 per game), and had 10 double-doubles. His best game might have been on the road at Minnesota, where he had 27 points and 16 rebounds, both season highs.
It was a two-man race for the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, and Illinois' Kofi Cockburn edged out Jackson-Davis. The pair won the vast majority of the weekly freshman awards.
