Jackson averaged 25 points, 6.5 three-pointers and 3.5 rebounds during a pair of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Men's Basketball Tournament games last week. The junior guard shot 47.2 percent (17-36) from the field and 65 percent (13-20) from three-point range. He converted all three free throws. Jackson opened the postseason with 22 points and five rebounds during a 77-67 victory against Pitt-Johnstown in the PSAC quarterfinals. He finished 7-of-15 from the floor and 6-of-9 from behind the arc. The shot of the night arguably came out of Jackson's hand at the first-half buzzer when he nailed a three-pointer from well beyond the arc to give the Golden Knights a 38-34 advantage at the break. He hit six three-pointers for the third time this season, jumping Chris Hollan (1988-89) and moving into sixth place on Gannon's single-season three-point field goal chart with 87. Jackson then poured in 28 points during an overtime loss to No. 5 Kutztown in the PSAC semifinals. He hit 10-of-21 overall shots and a career-high 7-of-11 three-point bombs. Back-to-back three-pointers from Jackson turned a two-point deficit into a four-point lead late in the first half. He finished with 94 three-pointers, representing the fifth-highest single-season total in program history.
