Demetrius Jackson is a high-powered guard with the ability to score and distribute. He ran one of the most efficient offenses in the country during the 2015-16 season, and looks to keep the Irish rolling further into March.

Jackson is a stat-stuffer, averaging 15.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. He and big man Zack Auguste have played well together this season and they’ll need to continue that level of play to get past an exciting would-be matchup with West Virginia in the second round.

Jackson shoots the ball more than 12 times per game. Don’t look for him to be shy on the offensive end of the court this weekend. He’ll likely shoot early and often.
