In the first round, the #8 seeded Chaps upset #1 seed Midwestern State to move on to the second round, where they fell to Tarleton State.

Off the court, Jackson graduated with a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sport Science in 2015 and a master's in Organizational Leadership in 2017. Prior to LCU, Jackson attended Chadron State (Neb.) from 2011-13.
