Justin Jackson, Theo Pinson step up at the right time

Posted Feb 22, 2016
Late in No. 5 North Carolina’s 96-71 win against No. 11 Miami on Saturday, Jackson hit his third 3-pointer of the day. Seconds later, he stole the ball and fed Isaiah Hicks on the fast break to give UNC an 86-48 lead. Running back up the court, Jackson cracked a grin. “You might see that every once in a while from me if things are clicking,” he said. (Daily Tar Heel)
