This morning, Marquette men’s basketball head coach Shaka Smart wasn’t sure if Kam Jones — who missed last game after tweaking his right ankle — was going to be able to take the floor.
“We did a walkthrough at the hotel, and I didn’t even put him out there in the starting group or as we were walking through any of Georgetown’s stuff,” Smart told ESPN Milwaukee broadcasters Steve “The Homer” True and Tony Smith in a post-game radio interview.
“He just didn’t look like he was moving great as of yesterday.”
But despite Smart’s initial doubts, Jones started and scored a career-high 31 points — shooting 7-for-9 from deep — to lead the No.
