IU splits contests at tournament in the Bahamas

Jori Davis and Jamie Braun led IU to a 72-61 win against Charlotte on Friday.

The two combined to score 45 points and lifted IU to the third-place slot of the Junkanoo Jam in Freeport, Bahamas.

Davis, a junior guard, was 9-of-17 for 21 points, while Braun, IU’s lone senior, dropped 24 on 6-of-9 shooting. She also nailed 7 of 8 free throws.

The win was the first for IU in the Junkanoo Jam. The Hoosiers lost 84-79 against Virginia in their first game of the Thanksgiving tournament. 

Davis was also named to the all-tournament team after posting 54 points, 15 rebounds and eight steals in only two contests.

IU will see its next competition against Florida State on Thursday in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
