Jackson Simmons had been on this earth for 20 years before he got the kind of altitude he enjoyed on Saturday. Simmons had just finished playing 15 key minutes, grabbing four offensive rebounds, scoring eight points and blocking a shot in Carolina's gritty 77-72 win at Florida State. During the 15 minutes he was on the floor, Carolina was +15. (GoHeels.com)
