Keegan Murray, Trayce Jackson-Davis have incredible battle in B1G Tournament semifinal
Published:
Keegan Murray and Trayce Jackson-Davis put on one hell of a show in Indianapolis in the first of two semifinal games in the B1G Tournament. The stars from Iowa and Indiana were virtually unstoppable.
Iowa posted an 80-77 win in Indianapolis, thanks to an heroic, banked-in shot from Jordan Bohannon with 1.1 second remaining in the game. While his shot will go down as an all-time great, so will the performances from the two stars.
Murray scored a game-high 32 points in the win, converting on 11-of-17 shots from the floor and was 8-of-10 from behind the 3-point line. He also grabbed 9 rebounds and dished out 3 assists in 39 minutes.
Jackson-Davis registered a double-double in Indiana’s loss, scoring 31 points and collecting 10 boards. He shot 15-of-21 from the field and also was responsible for 3 assists.
It was undoubtedly one of the greatest games featuring two star players of the tournament. If both Murray and Jackson-Davis continue to play at this level, both the Hoosiers and Hawkeyes will be a tough out in the NCAA Tournament.
