Rob's Takeaways: UNC's Mess at Center, NCAA Tournament Outlook, Looking to Ian Jackson

Posted Jan 2, 2025
You're seeing Ian Jackson make a lot of great plays from the wing. On the catch, he's ready. He's very aggressive. He's handling the basketball much better than I thought he would. He's getting better and better. He's getting respect. He looks like someone who can make a play, and he does. He seems ready to shoulder the lion's share of the shots. (Inside Carolina)
