Indiana basketball vs. Morehead State: Three predictions for season opener
#1. Trayce Jackson-Davis dominates with 20+ points and 10+ rebounds
In last season’s opening night game, Jackson-Davis and the Hoosiers battled with Eastern Michigan all the way down to the wire. In that game, TJD went for 21 points, 14 rebounds, and three blocks, yet the Hoosiers couldn’t pull away.
This time around, it should be a lot different. With much different support surrounding TJD, he will still be able to dominate this non-conference opponent, but not as much needed as it was in 2021-22.
