Streak hits 1,000 on 3 from Jones

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Mason Jones is now the answer to a University of Arkansas basketball trivia question.

Who hit the three-point basket that extended the Razorbacks’ streak to 1,000 games?

Jones did it when he drained a three-pointer with 18:43 left in the first half of Saturday’s game at

South

Carolina after Razorbacks junior forward

Adrio Bailey stole the ball from Chris

Silva.

It was tough for Jones to enjoy the milestone basket because the Gamecocks beat the Razorbacks 77-65.

“It means something to the program, to get to 1,000 games,” Jones said of the three-point streak. “But I wish it could have come in a win.”

The Razorbacks hit 6 of 22 three-pointers on Saturday after Jones gave them a 2 of 2 start.

Arkansas became the sixth NCAA Division 1 men’s team to have a streak of 1,000 games with at least one three-point basket.
