The freshman forward's nature is to push, not retreat; to battle and not concede. Big Ten's bruising nature has hit hard, which is what happens to all players, even to hyper talented freshmen, as the 6-9, 245-pound Jackson-Davis is. The conference learning curve left Jackson-Davis a non-factor at Rutgers (2-for-6 shooting, four points, six rebounds) and against Ohio State (1-for-3, six points, three rebounds). That reflected opponent scouting of him and Hoosier tendencies, and Indiana's continued lack of perimeter shooting that allows opponents to smother the inside.
