He also grabbed five rebounds in his seventh straight game, establishing some consistency in the paint for Butler. Over his last four games Jones is averaging 10.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.3 blocks across 25.3 minutes per game, a nice run of form that he will look to continue Saturday versus Northwestern.

Five blocks Tuesday Jones amassed five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 84-68 victory over Eastern Michigan.

Impact Jones, who had not recorded a block in five straight games, exploded with five stuffs versus Eastern Michigan. He now has eight blocks this season and all of them have come in just two of the Bulldogs' eight games. He has started every game this season but has only played over 18 minutes once which hurts his ability to put up big scoring and rebounding numbers.
