Wild stat encapsulates Trayce Jackson-Davis’ performance in IU’s disappointing loss to Kansas
Published:
Trayce Jackson-Davis became the first B1G player in over a decade to lose after recording 9 blocks in a game on Saturday. Indiana lost to Kansas by a score of 84-62 on the road.
In the last decade, no B1G player’s team had lost when they recorded at least 9 blocks in a game. The last time something like this happened in the past 11 years to a Power 5 team was in 2020 with former Mississippi State player Abdul Ado against Auburn.
Trayce Jackson-Davis had 9 blocks in a loss to Kansas today.
In the last decade, no Big Ten player has EVER lost a game when having at least 9 blocks.
In all power conference games, this has only happened once in the last 11 years: Abdul Ado, Miss State, 01/04/2020 vs Auburn. pic.twitter.com/1lbqsmNEuV
