The ACC has a wide-open player of the year race with North Carolina's Justin Jackson, Duke's Luke Kennard, and Wake Forest's John Collins leading the way. Jackson, a 6-8 junior, is averaging 18.4 points for a team that has already clinched the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament. Jackson and Kennard meet Saturday in a game that could tip the balance in the race. (Associated Press)
