Jackson named to Cayman All-Tournament team
MBB: The senior guard hit the game-winning shot against George Washington on Tuesday
Murray State senior guard Javon Jackson was one of five players to earn a spot on the Cayman Islands Classic All-Tournament Team.
Jackson punctuated the three-day event scoring the game-winning layup with 1.2 seconds left Tuesday night to lift the Racers to a dramatic 96-95 win over George Washington. After a difficult 1-for-10 shooting performance against McNeese, Jackson responded in a big way with 24 points on 10-of-20 shooting against GW.
So far this season, Jackson is leading Murray State’s high-powered scoring attack with 16.6 points per game.
The other players on the All-Tournament team were: McNeese’s Javohn Garcia (Tournament MVP), McNeese’s Tyshawn Archie, Middle Tennessee State’s Torey Alston and George Washington’s Rafael Castro.
