Justin Jackson an offensive bright spot for UNC

Posted Dec 8, 2016
The Tar Heels struggled offensively on Wednesday. "It was as frustrating as I ever remember," said Roy Williams after the game. UNC shot just 38% from the field and had 15 turnovers. While the offense struggled, Justin Jackson found a way to flourish. He led Carolina with 27 points, tying a career high, and more than double the next highest scorer for UNC. (Carolina Blue)
