Indiana men’s basketball senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis was given Big Ten Player of the Week recognition for the third week in a row. Jackson-Davis shares the honor with Purdue junior center Zach Edey, with whom he split the award last week as well.
Jackson-Davis led the No 18.-ranked Hoosiers to a 1-1 record this past week with a win against No. 1 Purdue and a loss at Maryland. The preseason All-American averaged 21.5 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks in the two-game span.
Despite the loss to the Terrapins, Jackson-Davis' 20 rebounds set a record for the most in a single game at the Xfinity Center in College Park, Maryland. Jackson-Davis now has 1,017 career rebounds and is 15 away from third place on the program’s all-time leaderboard.
Jackson-Davis' Big Ten Player of the Week honor is his third of this season and the sixth of his career, tied for most by an Indiana men’s basketball player with Calbert Cheaney and Steve Alford.
