Justin Jackson hopes UNC's Final Four stay has a little hometown flavor
Posted Apr 2, 2016
Yes, UNC sophomore Justin Jackson is from the Houston area. And yes, the Tar Heels will play Syracuse in the Final Four tonight in Houston’s NRG Stadium. But no, for Jackson, this isn’t a homecoming. “It’s the Final Four, so that right there is already enough,” Jackson said Friday. “… I’m sure once I see family and friends, it’s going to add on to it.”
