P. Sean Jackson (born c. 1969/1970) is an American former college basketball player for the Ohio Bobcats and Princeton Tigers.
He is listed among the all-time career three-point field goal percentages in the NCAA annual record book.
[2] As a junior, Jackson led Vinson High School of Huntington, West Virginia to the 1986 WVSSAC Class A state championship game victory over Notre Dame.
[1] That team included two future National Basketball Association players: Paul Graham and Dave Jamerson.
[10][11] The team was coming off of an Ivy League championship season that was highlighted by a 1989 NCAA tournament with the memorable 1989 Georgetown vs. Princeton game.
[9] As a redshirt sophomore transfer, Jackson stepped into the role that had previously been played by Bob Scrabis and was one of the key players on the team.
[16] The Princeton record book omits Jackson's January 8, 1990 rivalry game 24-point 7–8 three-point field goal performance against Penn, but The Harvard Crimson and Philadelphia Daily News noted it,[17] giving him a share of the school single-game three-point shots made record until Matt Lapin made 8 against Harvard on February 24, 1990.
[21] The team won the Ivy League regular season and entered the 1990 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament with a 13-seed.
[22] Jackson's February 8, 1991, 5–5 three-point shot performance against Cornell stood as a shared school and shared Ivy League record for single-game three point shots without a miss until Sydney Johnson set the current school record (6) six seasons later.
[1] That year, the team repeated for a third consecutive season as Ivy League champions to earn a bid to the 1991 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament as 8-seeds where they lost to Villanova 50–48.
[1] The 1991–92 team earned a fourth consecutive Ivy League championship and went to the 1992 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament as a 11-seed against Syracuse.
[33][34] After graduating from Princeton in 1992, Jackson attended Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the Chicago metropolitan area to attain a Master of Business Administration before moving to begin his career in Nashville.
[9] During his time in business school, he began playing in competitive 3x3 basketball with John W. Rogers Jr., Mueller and Craig Robinson.
