WATCH: Trayce Jackson-Davis' Block Leads to Miller Kopp 3-Pointer Against Northwestern

Indiana is beginning to mount a comeback against Northwestern thanks to a block from Trayce Jackson-Davis, leading to a 3-pointer from Miller Kopp.
In this story:

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It's been a rough first half, but Indiana is beginning to show some life.

Northwestern's Ty Berry drove to the basket, but Trayce Jackson-Davis had other ideas. He waited patiently in the lane before timing his jump and blocking Berry's layup off the backboard. 

Miller Kopp grabbed the rebound and dished it to Jackson-Davis to start the fast break. Kopp spaced the floor to the left wing, and Jackson-Davis found him in rhythm. Kopp drilled the 3-pointer from the left wing to cut Northwestern's lead to 10 points in the first half.
