C.J. Jackson is just doing his part to help Ohio State win during the NCAA Tournament, but the Buckeye hit a career milestone on Sunday night.

With eight early points in the first half of Ohio State’s Round of 32 matchup against Houston, Jackson hit 1,000 career points in the scarlet and grey. He has been a crucial part of the Buckeyes’ starting lineup each of the last two seasons, starting in 61 career games.

Jackson averaged 11.8 points this season for the Buckeyes. He struggled in Ohio State’s last game against Iowa State, scoring just two points and made just one of his eight shots from the floor.

Jackson has already bounced back early in the second round against Houston. The Buckeyes are hoping to continue their season with a win over the Cougars.
