Myles Johnson is well spoken and mild mannered off the court, but this season he has quietly developed into a monster on the defensive end. The 6’11” redshirt junior stood out as the biggest reason Indiana star Trayce Jackson-Davis had a below average performance in the loss to Rutgers on Sunday. He was held to just 13 points on 4 of 10 shooting after entering the game averaging 20.6 points on 54.2% shooting.
Jackson-Davis, a contender for First Team All-Big Ten, was also limited to 7 boards and committed 4 turnovers. Johnson registered 5 blocks and 3 steals, in addition to scoring 8 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.
