ON THE SIDELINES
IU Hall of Famer, All-American, Big Ten MVP and Indiana native Mike Woodson is the first Hoosier graduate to lead the program at the start of the season since Lou Watson in 1965. Woodson brings nine years of NBA head coaching experience (Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks) back to his alma mater and worked for seven franchises as an assistant coach and won an NBA title in 2004 with the Detroit Pistons. He played 11 seasons in the NBA as a player and is the fifth all-time leading scorer in program history with 2,061 points.
Maryland Interim Coach Danny Manning is in his first year in College Park.
DEFENSE LEADS THE HOOSIERS
IU is first in the Big Ten and 10th in country in field goal percentage defense (37.7%). The Hoosiers also lead the league in scoring defense (63.4) overall and in conference play (64.7).
ALL-AMERICAN TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS
Junior/sophomore forward Trayce Jackson-Davis is living up to his preseason accolades averaging 18.6 points (4th in B1G), 8.6 rebounds (3rd), shooting 60.1% from the floor (3rd) and contributing 56 blocked shots (1st).
He set a Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall record by scoring 43 points against Marshall, breaking the previous mark (42) set by Steve Alford against Michigan State. He has had eight double-doubles this season and 30 in his career with IU posting a 23-7 record in those games. He notched four straight double-doubles for the first time in his career after he had 23 points and 12 boards at Nebraska.
Jackson-Davis now has scored 1,317 points as a Hoosier, rating 30th all-time in IU lore. Despite being limited to 11 minutes due to foul trouble against No. 4/4 Purdue, he defended a game-winning shot attempt ad made two free throws with 5.1 seconds left to extend the IU lead. He had 15 points, six rebounds and four blocks against Penn State.
ODDS AND TRENDS
IU's starting lineup of Jackson-Davis (79), Sr./Jr's. Xavier Johnson (101), Miller Kopp (94), Parker Stewart (93) and Race Thompson (47) have combined for 409 career Division I starts. Off the bench, Sr./Jr's. Michael Durr (85) and Rob Phinisee (69) have started 154 games.
Thompson is ninth in the Big Ten averaging 7.5 rebounds.
Stewart is shooting 45.3% from 3-point range. He ranks second among players who have made at least 39 3-pointers this season.
The Hoosiers 10-of-13 shooting (76.9%) from long range on Wednesday was their third best shooting effort from distance since 1996-97 (USF, 1998 and Kent State, 2002).
IU also had a season-high 10 blocks against PSU.
On December 31, IU led the league in turnovers at 15.4. Since the New Year, IU is fourth among Big Ten teams giving up just 9.8 miscues over an eight-game span.
