FILE - Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis (23) shoots against Iowa's Keegan Murray (15) during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in the semifinals at the Big Ten Conference tournament March 12, 2022, in Indianapolis. One question heading into each of the past two seasons was whether Jackson-Davis could expand his game with more jumpers and even some 3-pointers. The problem: Indiana desperately needed Jackson-Davis' presence inside. This year, with a larger cast of interior players, should help Jackson-Davis move away from the basket.
