North Carolina finished off their non-conference season with a 32-point win over Monmouth. With the meat grinder that is ACC play about to start, what did the Tar Heels’ final non-league game teach us?
Justin Jackson continues to put up big numbers
Joel Berry is definitely the most important player on this UNC team. However, Justin Jackson has really established himself as the go-to scorer. Jackson scored 28 points against Monmouth, notching his fourth 25+ point game of the season. He went 6-9 from three, taking his season percentage over 40%.
He still has had games this season where he’s struggled (Tennessee), but those are far rarer than they have been in past seasons.
