CHICAGO – There's not much the defense can do when Trayce Jackson-Davis has the ball this close to the basket. 

Jackson-Davis missed a layup attempt early in the first half of Indiana's Big Ten Tournament semifinal game against Penn State, but he sprung toward the rim for an offensive rebound and put-back dunk.
