Justin Jackson's breakthrough a big deal for UNC

Posted Dec 28, 2014
Justin Jackson's two 3-pointers in a span of 52 seconds halted a frustrating slump and offered a preview of UNC's potential if the 20th-ranked Tar Heels can find a second outside threat to complement Marcus Paige. Jackson, billed as one of the top scorers in the prep class of 2014, totaled eight points on UNC’s last six possessions of the first half Saturday. (Fayetteville Observer)
