By Alec Lasley
The Indiana All-Stars swept Kentucky in the All-Star series matchups with Saturday’s win, led by Indiana basketball freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Led by Indiana basketball freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana took it to Kentucky in the All-Star series this weekend with a series sweep, the first time since 2016.
On Saturday, the Indiana All-Stars backed up their 97-64 win from Friday, taking home the win 120-74. Per Jeff Rabjohns, the 79-point margin was the highest combined margin of the series that dates back to 1939.
Saturday’s 46-point win was the second-highest margin of victory in the series, second to only Indiana’s 54-point win back in 2013.
Indiana incoming freshman Trayce Jackson-Davis had 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 24 minutes on Friday, and followed that up with a 17-point, eight rebound and three block performance on Saturday.

Fellow incoming freshman Armaan Franklin also was in action as he averaged 6.5 points 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the two matchups.
The two connected on a couple of plays, including this inbounds play that resulted in an and-one for Jackson-Davis.
Some Indiana fans were worried at the end of the game on Saturday as Jackson-Davis was seen with an ice pack on his knee. He quickly took to social media to let Hoosier fans know he was okay.
This is the last bit of action both Jackson-Davis and Armaan Franklin will have before they suit up for Indiana in the fall.
