Tar Heels need to lean on Ian Jackson, Drake Powell in matchup at Notre Dame

Posted Jan 3, 2025
With defenses focused on R.J. Davis and the fifth-year guard struggling to find his shooting touch, North Carolina will have to lean on freshmen Ian Jackson and Drake Powell. What made the final minutes of UNC's loss at Louisville more of a challenge is that Powell fouled out with 4:17 left, and Jackson barely touched the ball down the stretch. (Tar Heel Tribune)
