If Indiana fans have seen the last of junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis in a Hoosiers uniform, then he’ll have ended his college career on a high note, at least relative to both his own previous performance and what the program had been through since its last Big Ten regular-season title and Sweet 16 appearance in 2016.
After a tumultuous February in which Indiana lost five games in a row — a streak that started with Jackson-Davis putting up just six points and six rebounds in a 17-point home loss to Illinois and a 13-points-on-13-shots effort in a road loss to Northwestern — both the team and its leading scorer changed potential narratives about the individual and the collective in March.
