ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Indiana senior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis was named Big Ten Co-Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
Jackson-Davis joins Purdue’s Zach Edey as the only players to earn Player of the Week honors in three-straight weeks this season.
The honor is the sixth of TJD’s career, tying him for the most all time by a Hoosier player. Calbert Cheaney and Steve Alford also won Player of the Week on six occasions, while Alan Henderson and D.J. White claimed five awards. White was named Player of the Week four times his senior season, the most by an IU player in a single season.
The Center Grove product averaged 21.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals per game on 50.0% shooting from the floor and 78.6% from the free throw line over the week’s two games.
To open the week, Jackson-Davis posted 18 points and 20 rebounds against Maryland. His 20-rebound effort set an Xfinity Center record.
Against the No. 1/1 Purdue Boilermakers, TJD posted 25 points, seven rebounds, and five blocked shots in Indiana’s 79-74 victory. He became the first player to produce at least 25 points and five blocks in a win over the AP No. 1 team since Marcus Camby had 32 points and 5 blocks in UMass’ win over Kentucky on November 28, 1995.
Jackson-Davis and the No. 18/18 Indiana Hoosiers will take on No. 24/RV Rutgers at 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 7 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
