NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Talk about a statement game.
2019 five-star forward Trayce Jackson-Davis and Indy Heat may not have advanced to Saturday play at Nike Peach Jam, but the top IU target wasn't about to head home before going out with a bang.
Facing off against Nike Team Florida in a late 9 p.m. ET tipoff on Friday night, the Center Grove star finished with 27 points on 13-of-20 shooting, plus 17 rebounds in a 76-66 victory.
The performance was all the more impressive when considering the level of talent Nike Team Florida's frontcourt features.
Holding down the post for their squad is 6-10, 275-pound big man Vernon Carey, a five-star center ranked as the No. 1 player nationally in 2019 with offers from Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and Kansas among others.
They also feature 6-8, 200-pound five-star forward Scottie Barnes, who checks in as the No. 2 player nationally in 2019.
Jackson-Davis finished with more than a handful of dunks against the duo in leading Indy Heat to the win.
IU head coach Archie Miller and assistant coach Bruiser Flint were in-attendance. Kentucky head coach John Calipari and UCLA head coach Steve Alford were also at the game, among many others.
