INDIANAPOLIS -- Tyus Stones.
It’s a nickname that was coined by teammate Amile Jefferson on Jan. 31, after a win over Virginia in which Duke freshman point guard Tyus Jones made yet another clutch shot, that one a 3-pointer with 11 seconds left.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Jones delivered yet again in the national championship game, hitting a critical 3 with 1:24 remaining that helped the Blue Devils put away Wisconsin, just moments after his 3 with 4:08 that had put Duke ahead to stay.
Now the question becomes what Jones will do for an encore.
