LOS ANGELES — Wisconsin had just defeated North Carolina in the Sweet 16 when Traevon Jackson began to credit whom he always credits for his achievements: God.
If there’s a microphone in his face, then there’s probably a faith-inspired message rolling off his tongue. Not in a fiery, traveling Southern Baptist evangelist manner. But in a way that suggests the gravity of it all.
Jackson’s life is governed by a higher power. And he’s not shy about professing that to anyone, including his teammates.
