FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Mason Jones is on a tear unlike any other in his Razorbacks career entering Tuesday's showdown with No. 11 Auburn in Bud Walton Arena.
The junior became the first Arkansas player since 2002 to score 30-plus points in back-to-back games on Saturday, and he has scored at least 19 points in five consecutive games going back to Jan. 18.
Over the Razorbacks' last three outings, Jones has scored at the rim and worked his way to the free throw line almost at will. In that span, he is 14 of 16 on attempts in the lane and taken 44 free throws, of which he has made 31.
