Justin Jackson: 'A little friendly banter' with Malik Monk

Posted Mar 27, 2017
Social media buzzed as UNC's Justin Jackson and Kentucky's Malik Monk exchanged pleasantries during UNC's win over Kentucky. It was "just a little friendly banter," Jackson said. "I was assigned the duty of trying to slow him down, and so you can get fired up a little bit. That's rare for me, but at this stage of the season, I feel like there's really nothing that you should keep in." (Louisville Courier-Journal)
