Justin Jackson's up-and-down night ends with a flourish
Posted Mar 20, 2015
North Carolina freshman Justin Jackson scored a game-tying basket and converted a go-ahead dunk in the last 70 seconds of a 67-65 win against Harvard. A strong finish erased some of the frustration from a difficult NCAA tournament debut. Jackson led the fourth-seeded Tar Heels with 14 points, but he committed four costly turnovers and was outhustled for a rebound that preceded a go-ahead four-point play for the Crimson.
