Freshmen make official UNC debut
Posted Nov 15, 2014
Justin Jackson scored nine points on 4-of-7 shooting and grabbed five rebounds in the first start of his career. Jackson wasn't the only freshman to get a start in his collegiate debut. A poor decision made by J.P. Tokoto in practice led coach Roy Williams to bench the junior in favor of freshman Theo Pinson.
