Indiana forward Trayce Jackson-Davis has played at an All-American level this season, and he started Saturday's game at Michigan strong. 

On the first possession of the game, Jackson-Davis passed the ball to Miller Kopp on the left wing. Indiana's Jalen Hood-Schifino set a screen on Michigan's Hunter Dickinson, freeing up Jackson-Davis for a cut to the basket. 

Kopp hit Jackson-Davis near the left block, leading to an easy two-handed slam over the Michigan defense.
