Indiana brought down the roof on Saturday night against Ohio State.  Or was that just part of the scoreboard?  Either way, the Hoosiers won their fifth straight game in front of a raucous crowd in Bloomington.

The 6-foot-9 senior swatted four Golden Gopher attempts in the last five minutes, and he had six total blocks for the game — the second highest total for his career at IU. Four of Jackson-Davis’ career top-nine single-game performances from a shot blocking standpoint have come in the last six weeks.  He had nine at Kansas, the second most ever in program history, the six on Wednesday, and then five…
