Indiana Hoosiers star Trayce Jackson-Davis continues to generate buzz, even after his team's 66-55 loss in Colleg Park Tuesday night against the Maryland Terrapins. Against the Terps, Jackson-Davis put together an incredible stat line, scoring 18 points to go with 20 rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block in 39 minutes of action.
That performance also came on the last day of January, which meant that he just became a member of an extremely rare college basketball club that also features legendary NCAA big men Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan, per OptaSTATS.

Maryland head coach Kevin Willard already knew before the game that slowing down — let alone stopping — Trayce Jackson-Davis was going to be a tall order for the Terrapins, but they found success in another era — at the free-throw line, to be exact.
The Terps shot 25 of 29 from the foul line while Trayce Jackson-Davis and the Hoosiers were just 10 of 12 on their free throws. The loss was Indiana's fifth against Big Ten competition and seventh overall in the 2022-23 college basketball season. It also snapped a five-game win streak.
Up next for Trayce Jackson-Davis and the Hoosiers will be another difficult matchup, as they will be taking on No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers in Bloomington on Saturday. That game will feature two of the best big men not only in the Big Ten but in the nation, with Jackson-Davis squaring off with Purdue star Zach Edey.
