UNC vs Pitt - Player of the Game: Kennedy Meeks

I am 1000% committed to the Justin Jackson for ACC Player of the Year movement. Every game lately has become an ode to the progress Jackson has made in his time at Carolina, and he will undoubtedly be the man to carry the team on his back throughout March and hopefully April.

It’s hard for any of Jackson’s teammates to end up as Player of the Game recently, but it would be an error to overlook the contributions of Kennedy Meeks in Pittsburgh on Saturday. Jackson lit up the score sheet with his three-pointers, but Meeks’ double-double was important in its own right.
