Ashlon Jackson Just Got A Slice Of Blue Devil Immortality
Holy Moly, what a shot by Ashlon Jackson!
W ell, there’s really not much choice for tonight’s Gold – Ashlon Jackson made sure of that . Duke was in great shape in the fourth quarter against LSU when the Tigers made a tremendous comeback, outscoring Duke 10-0 down the stretch to take an 85-84 lead. Duke took one shot and missed, and then had just 0:02 left on the clock.
Jordan Wood got the ball in to Jackson, who faked LSU great Flau’jae Johnson out of the way, then took a three from the left side of the three-point line. That shot went around…and around…and after taking its good, sweet time, the shot dropped in. Jackson got to live the dream every kid dreams in the driveway…“clock winding down…Jackson gets the in-bounds.
Johnson rushes out to devend.. but Jackson fakes her out of her Nikes! She’s open!
It’s up…spins around and around…it’s in! Duke wins on Jackson’s three! ” By the way, Jackson was 1-7 from behind the line before that shot.
