WATCH: Jalen Hood-Schifino Finds Trayce Jackson-Davis for Alley-Oop
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — In Indiana basketball's exhibition game versus Saint Francis on Thursday, freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino played alongside veteran forward Trayce Jackson-Davis in this alley-oop play.
Once again, Hood-Schifino beat every Cougars defender up the floor and made a one-handed pass to Jackson-Davis, whose timing was perfect for a one-handed alley-oop.
With less than seven minutes to play, Jackson-Davis tallies 19 points followed by Hood-Schifino's 15 and freshman Malik Reneau's 13.
After the first exhibition game win versus Marian on Oct. 29, Indiana head coach Mike Woodson said Hood-Schifino earned his start, and it looks like he's trying to lock that in ahead of the regular season.
Take a look at the full replay embedded in the tweet below:
Up next, the Hoosiers will officially begin regular season play when they take on Morehead State on Monday, Nov. 7 inside the Hall.
The Hoosiers will then take on Bethune-Cookman Thursday, Nov. 10 at home before heading to Cincinnati Ohio to take on Xavier for their first away game of the season on Friday, Nov. 18.
