Jackson, who announced Wednesday that he was transferring to Arkansas for his final season of eligibility, came off the bench and scored 18 points on 7 of 11 field goals - including 3 of 7 beyond the arc.

He also added 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals. According to Sports-Reference’s Play Index, Jackson is the only player reach those numbers off the bench in a single game over the last 10 seasons.
