Frank Jackson Lights Up Florida State On Senior Night
It is now March, Has the light finally come on for combo guard Frank Jackson?
Tuesday night was supposed to be all about the seniors for Duke when they played Florida State at Cameron but it was freshman Frank Jackson who lit it up on the court and who led Duke to a 75- 70 win while Grayson Allen came off the bench. Do I think Frank Jackson should start over Grayson Allen for the rest of the season? Yes, if he keeps having breakout performances like he did Tuesday while making the offense run smoothly.
He was shooting from everywhere on the court if he wasn't shooting a three -pointer he was driving to make a layup over Florida State. "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=211508753
