Purdue men’s basketball head coach Matt Painter was asked about Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis postgame.
His answer was thoughtful, noting how Jackson-Davis has developed over time and how much of a handful he is to deal with on defense.
“Trayce is fabulous,” Painter said. “Just a great person, great player. We were on him early and put a lot of time into him. Obviously he chose to come here and that’s his choice, but he’s fabulous, man”
Jackson-Davis scored 25 points to help lift the Hoosiers in Indiana’s 79-74 win over Purdue on Saturday, adding to an impressive fourth season that’s seen him earn national recognition.
