Posted Jan 17, 2025
UNC Basketball is on a four-game streak, building momentum and confidence game by game. And there's no bigger reason for the Tar Heels' success than Ian Jackson. He's averaging 15.7 points per game on 51% from the field and 42% from three, which is impressive, especially as a freshman. But just in the last seven games, he's scored 159 points.
