Trayce Jackson-Davis now has the most recorded blocked shots in IU basketball history.
The 6-foot-9 senior blocked a drive to the basket by Minnesota’s Jamison Battle with 1:24 left in the first half on Wednesday evening in Minneapolis to give him the all-time lead.
The block was Jackson-Davis’ 228th of his career. He came into the game tied for the lead and passed Jeff Newton, whose 227 blocks stood atop the IU record books since 2003. Jackson-Davis would go on to block six for the game and now has 233 for his career.
The Greenwood, Ind. product came into the game averaging a career high 3.1 blocks per game this season.
Jackson-Davis won’t catch the Big Ten’s all-time block leader unless he uses his extra year of eligibility — and even that likely wouldn’t give him enough games to get there. Ohio State’s Ken Johnson swatted 444 shots from 1997 to 2001. Jackson-Davis currently stands seventh all-time in conference history.
