28-point showing to avoid upset Jones finished with 28 points (11-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 89-87 win over Xavier. Impact Jones stayed hot in the sneaky win over the Musketeers, leading the Golden Eagles in scoring and logging his third straight game with 20 or more points. The star point guard has been relied on as the go-to scorer in close matchups especially as of late, and this should continue to be the case in equally tough games moving forward. The 6-foot-5 senior and the squad will now head to Johnnies turf on Friday for the semifinals of the Big East Tournament. This game should be an entertaining rematch less than a week after Marquette lost in an overtime buzzer-beater to St. John's, where Jones dropped an impressive 32 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
