CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - There is nobody in America who is happier that Kofi Cockburn no longer wears an Illini uniform than Trayce Jackson-Davis.
After being owned for three years by the massive two-time All-American, Jackson-Davis exploded for a season-high 35 points as Indiana dominated their rival, 80-65 Thursday night.
It was a must-win effort for the Hoosiers, the preseason Big Ten favorite who was in danger of falling four games behind front-running Purdue. But they played like a team with everything to lose, dominating the game on both ends. Indiana shot a season-best 65% from the field, eclipsing the 61% effort against Morehead State in their season opener back in early November.
