“I was a little nervous for my first time out. I talked to a couple guys in the locker room and the coaching staff to gather my head a little bit. I tried to be more aggressive (in the second half).” – Josh Jackson
All eyes were on freshman phenom Josh Jackson and he didn’t score his first points until six minutes into the second half. He was even benched 30 seconds into the second half for failing to go after rebounds hard enough. Once he got in the scorebook, he loosened up and finished with 14 points though he also had five turnovers.
