One explanation for the UNC basketball team's two-game losing streak entering Saturday afternoon's home bout against the Boston College Eagles was the back-to-back single-digit scoring performances by Ian Jackson after the electrifying Tar Heel freshman had routinely reached 20 points across the previous four weeks.

The turnovers kept Duke — which averages over 22 points off turnovers per game — in the game, despite shooting 22 percent from the field in the first half. The Blue Devils had 10 turnovers of their own in the first half, but UNC couldn’t capitalize.
