"Trayce Jackson-Davis once enjoyed a title reserved exclusively for basketball players at Indiana University. He was the big man on campus, the star athlete in the Hoosier state's biggest sport. While his powerful slams and stellar play helped IU reach the NCAA Tournament in both his junior and senior years, the football team was a doormat in the Big Ten and an afterthought on campus."
"Even though he will be busy during the game, that did not stop the Warriors' big man from offering up his prediction. Indiana Hoosiers 35, Miami Hurricanes 24, Jackson-Davis told the Bay Area News Group when asked for a final score prediction. Should Indiana win, it would cement the Hoosiers as one of the sport's all-time improbable turnarounds. Well, improbable to everyone except Cignetti, who famously told reporters during his 2024 introductory press conference, I win; Google me. The bravado made many laugh, including Warriors"
Trayce Jackson-Davis was a dominant Indiana basketball player who helped the Hoosiers reach the NCAA Tournament in his junior and senior seasons and later joined the Golden State Warriors. Three years after graduation, he has become an enthusiastic supporter of Indiana football, backing coach Curt Cignetti and former Cal quarterback and Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza. Indiana rose from Big Ten obscurity to upset Ohio State for the conference title and rout Oregon 56-22. Jackson-Davis has watched parts of key games amid NBA travel and predicted a 35-24 Indiana victory over Miami in the national championship. Cignetti's confident "I win; Google me" remark underscores the program's improbable turnaround.
