After back-to-back ACC losses to Stanford and Wake Forest, Tar Heels recover for 102-96 overtime win over Boston College.

One bright spot for the Tar Heels is five-star freshman Ian Jackson has broken out over the last month. The shooting guard tallied just six points on 1-for-8 shooting against Stanford but had dropped 18+ points in his previous seven contests, averaging 22.7 ppg over that span.

Remember that the Deacons went through an ugly stretch in non-conference play, being held below 60 points in three straight games. Wake Forest struggles on the offensive glass and shoots just 28.1% from long range—easily the worst number among high-major schools.
