Inside the Tucker Center’s visiting locker room, Trayce Jackson-Davis couldn’t hold in his frustration. He had just put up 25 points and a career-high 17 rebounds before watching the Hoosiers fall in overtime to No. 20 Florida State. After the game, Jackson-Davis got after some of his teammates. Head coach Archie Miller said it was a locker room atmosphere unlike any he’s experienced since he’s been at IU.
“I’m not going to lie, when I got in the locker room I was angry,” Jackson-Davis said.
Moments before, as the buzzer sounded and Al Durham’s halfcourt heave came up short, Jackson-Davis’ passion was evident.
