Trayce Jackson-Davis of the Indiana basketball team addressed the media on Tuesday prior to the matchup with North Carolina on Wednesday night.

The quote of the entire question-and-answer session was something that Hoosier Nation should be absolutely thrilled about from our superstar player this season:

"“Obviously, I’m not 100 percent, but I will be playing tomorrow. It’s a huge game…”“I’ll play my hardest. You’re going to have to take me out on a stretcher.”"

This matchup between Trayce Jackson-Davis and the Hoosiers against Armando Bacot and the Tar Heels is one of the for the books, and seemingly is one of the better non-conference games between two major conference teams this entire season.

"“It’s going to be a primetime matchup. It’s a primetime game. They’re going to battle, and we’re going to have to battle too.”"

It’s unfortunate that North Carolina dropped two games last week, which led to them dropping to No. 18 in the AP Top 25, but with Indiana basketball finally entering the Top 10 prior to this game, it’s a true blue-blood matchup between two of the greatest programs in college basketball history.
