COLLEGE PARK, Md. – As the clock ticked toward halftime, Trayce Jackson-Davis saw his opportunity to give Indiana extra momentum.
With an eye on the time, he surged toward the hoop and rose above the wall of Maryland defenders, throwing a one-handed slam down with authority.
His dunk put the Hoosiers up seven and capped a 12-point first half from Jackson-Davis. When Indiana threw in to resume play in the second half, Jackson-Davis’ frontcourt partner took control.
Race Thompson swished a jumper, then another, then another as the Hoosiers pulled ahead to a double-digit lead in the first five minutes of the period.
