It's no secret Indiana basketball goes largely how Trayce Jackson-Davis goes. Hoosiers associate coach Yasir Rosemond knows who leads the way.

Jackson-Davis piled up 25 points, 21 rebounds and six blocked shots Wednesday night, including the go-ahead putback with 42 seconds remaining, as IU edged last-place and short-handed Minnesota, 61-57.

In the postgame interview on Big Ten Network, Rosemond — filling in because coach Mike Woodson has COVID — made his feelings about TJD plain.

"If you can find 25 to 30 people better than him in this NBA Draft, hey, I'll kiss your ass," Rosemond said told BTN's Robbie Hummel.
