Jackon Makes Honor Roll
18th Feb 2008
Notre Dame’s sophomore guard, Tory Jackson was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll after his performances in the last two games. Jackson scored 13 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists in the loss to UConn last Wednesday. He nearly had a triple-double yesterday against Rutgers with 17 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists for the Fighting Irish in the 71-68 win. Tory averaged 15 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2 steals in the two game span.
He has really started to play much better the past couple games and has been able to contribute a lot more on the offensive side of the ball. He has scored at least 13 points in the last three games, boosting his scoring average for the season to 8.1 points per game. He leads the Big East in assists, with 6.3 per contest and has had over 10 assists four times this season. But what truly amazes me is his rebounding. Tory is only 5′11″ and averages 5.0 rebounds per game, which is third best for Notre Dame (Zach Hillesland is tied with Jackson). Only forwards Luke Harangody and Rob Kurz grab more boards for the Irish.
Tory Jackson needs to keep on shooting the ball and helping out McAlarney and Harangody. Hopefully he can continue playing this well and lead Notre Dame to bigger and better things. Congratulations Tory and as always, Go Irish!
