Former mid-major stars shine in Final Four--Mid-Major Madness
Purdue
Lance Jones (Southern Illinois)
Carbondale, Illinois stand up! The Salukis had a heck of a season in the Big Ten between Purdue’s Lance Jones and Illinois’ Marcus Domask.
Jones will go down as one of the most prolific guards in Salukis’ history, making the third most 3-pointers (205) and picking up the fifth most steals (176) in a career.
In Saturday’s national semifinal for the Boilermakers, he led the game in made 3-pointers (4) and had a steal to boot. Only behind Edey on the scoreboard with 14 points, he was a big part of Purdue’s first trip to the national title since 1969.
Title Game
Purdue and UConn will face off in the national championship game on Monday night at 9:20 ET on TBS. There will be three former mid-major players in action, Lance Jones (SIU), Cam Spencer (Loyola MD), and Tristan Newton (ECU).
