His nine double-doubles are also fourth in the conference.
 
Jackson Jr. has played in 29 games with 24 starts and is fourth on the team – and 24th in the Horizon League – in scoring averaging 10.7 points to go with a team-best 2.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals. He also has 78 assists and 54 turnovers for a 1.4 ratio.

He has scored in double digits in 16 games, including three with 20 or more and a season-best 32 points against Youngstown State - one shy of a Titan freshman record - on 12-of-17 shooting with six 3-pointers. He is the only freshman in the Horizon League this season with a 30-point game.
