Pittsburgh coach Kevin Stallings remembered going against the old Justin Jackson. The one from Halloween 2015, when Stallings, who was then at Vanderbilt, held a private scrimmage against North Carolina. That version of Jackson looked nothing like the one he saw Tuesday night, the one who helped the Tar Heels avoid an upset in an 80-78 win over the Panthers. (ESPN.com)
