The most unkind thing about the injury that Tre Jones suffered Monday night against Syracuse was that he was playing at an incredibly high level.
Jones had forced four steals in the six minutes he played and pushed Duke to a 12-0 lead to start the game. When he went out, Duke was ahead 14-6 and looked ready to blow Syracuse out.
Less than two minutes later it was a two point game.
That suggests the impact that Jones was having on the game but only partially. He had two assists and four steals in six minutes and one basket which was fairly incredible as he was being chased down by 7-2 Paschal Chukwu.
