Jackson's improvement at free throw line proving big for UALR

BURN THE HORSE

UALR senior Courtney Jackson is starting to become a real weapon at the free throw line for the Trojans.

Jackson is 18 for 36 from the free throw line this season, which is just 50 percent. But he’s 6 of 8 (75 percent) in Sun Belt Conference games and 9 of 11 (82 percent) in his past five games.

That has allowed Jackson to raise his free throw percentage from 36 percent over the first 12 games of the season.
