The nicest play of the run came when Joel Berry found Jackson slicing down the baseline for a bucket.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jackson&#8217;s cutting down the baseline and his offensive rebounding was the difference,&#8221; said Northwestern coach Chris Collins, the former Dukie.<\/p>\n<p>An 8-0 run midway through the second half put Carolina up by 20 at 71-51. During that run, Jackson slashed down the baseline for an up and under then followed it with a runner in the lane. Carolina&#8217;s defensive got the Heels some easy baskets in the second half against Northwestern, which was held to 37 percent shooting in the half.<\/p>\n<p>For more on the game, including a boxscore, <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cb3media.com\/heelprints\" target=\"_blank\">please click here<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina, which fell from No. 1 in the country to No. 9 after losing to Northern Iowa, rebounded with a solid but not easy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-stories","category-north-carolina-tar-heels","wpcat-79-id","wpcat-80-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=94164"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":94395,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94164\/revisions\/94395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=94164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=94164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capitalsportsnc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=94164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
