Trayce Jackson-Davis and Indiana basketball carry a four-game winning streak into Saturday’s contest against a struggling Ohio State team.

The Hoosiers are 109-88 all-time against Ohio State and have won two straight home games against the Buckeyes since 2020. Despite the success at home, Indiana is just 2-7 against the Buckeyes since 2017-18 and has not won three straight home games against Ohio State since winning three straight from 2014 to 2016.

The last time Ohio State came into Assembly Hall? January 6, 2022. Trayce Jackson-Davis led the Hoosiers to a 67-51 win, posting 27 points, 12 rebounds, and five blocks in 34 minutes and only one other Indiana player scored in double figures (Race Thompson – 11).

If the Hoosiers show up to Assembly Hall playing the way they did against Minnesota, a game they escaped with a 61-57 victory, Indiana basketball fans will be in for a long night and the Buckeyes will control the game the entire way.

Can anybody else take some pressure off of Trayce Jackson-Davis? Does Jalen Hood-Schifino get back to his late 2022, or early 2023 self? Will Race Thompson play heavy minutes again after just two days of rest? Can Malik Reneau please get more minutes?
