Dick Vitale is Keeping up with the Joneses

Dick Vitale looks at 3 crucial members to top flight teams that all have the last name Jones.

I guess you can figure out that Terrence Jones is one of them.

Here is what Vitale has to say about Kentucky’s star sophomore.

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana][I]The third Jones to look at right now is playing in Lexington. [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/51540/terrence-jones”]Terrence Jones[/URL] has to be the man many thought would be All-Rolls Royce material at the start of the season. He showed flashes of his brilliance by putting up 20 points, hitting eight-of-nine from the floor in a win over [URL=”http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/2579/south-carolina-gamecocks”]South Carolina[/URL].[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana][I]He has had very inconsistent performances in key situations this season. He had two points against rival [URL=”http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/97/louisville-cardinals”]Louisville[/URL] in a win. Jones was held to four points and spent winning time on the pine as John Calipari sent a message in a loss to [URL=”http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/team/_/id/84/indiana-hoosiers”]Indiana[/URL].[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana][I]Jones must be the guy who showed his scoring ability and shooting touch against the Gamecocks. He has a lot of young teammates looking up to him and he must come through if the ‘Cats are going to make a run at the national championship in New Orleans.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana][I]He also has to rebound as well. Jones must be that type of player in the rugged SEC. Keep an eye on him.
