EVANSTON, Ill. — Indiana may be losing to Northwestern on the road, but good plays still deserve credit as forward Trayce Jackson-Davis finds Race Thompson for two in the Hoosiers' matchup versus Northwestern Wednesday night.

Freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino started the play off with a nice, long pass of his own to Jackson-Davis, who was out near the wing. Back to the basket, Jackson-Davis dribbled before spinning around the double team, almost flying out of bounds but not before he assisted senior forward Race Thompson wide open under the net for two.

With just under 12 minutes to play, Indiana narrowed its deficit to 49-40 as both Jackson-Davis and Thompson lead the team with 10 points a piece so far.
