Jackson averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 assists, four rebounds and 1.5 steals during two games last week for the Gannon men's basketball team. The senior guard shot 50 percent (13-26) from the field and 45 percent (9-20) from three-point range. He began the week with a season-high 26 points and five rebounds at Seton Hill, leading all scorers on both sides. Jackson went 10-of-16 from the field and 6-of-11 from long range against the Griffins. He tied the game at 70 with a running bank-shot with 56 seconds left in regulation. Jackson led Gannon in scoring for the 11th time this season while tying his career-high in field goals (10) and setting a season-high in three-point field goals (6). In the process, he moved past six former Golden Knights and into Gannon's all-time top 50 with 791 points despite playing only two seasons at Gannon. Jackson concluded the week with 11 points, a career-high seven assists, two steals and only two turnovers at division-leading Indiana (Pa.). He reached double digits in scoring for the fourth consecutive game and 16th time this season, moving into the 20-point plateau for the sixth time. Jackson leads Gannon in scoring (14.7), three-point field goals (47) and three-point field goal percentage (.359) through 22 games.
