Jones already showing benefits of redshirt year

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — At 3-0, Middle Tennessee is off to its best start on the hardwood since the 2013-14 season.

It's likely the Blue Raiders wouldn't have even been 2-0 without a junior who didn't even lace up his game shoes a single time last year.

Against the Lipscomb Bisons on the road, MT found itself in a duel and needing someone to step up. The Raiders had led by as many as nine in the second half, but allowed Lipscomb to claw its way back and eventually take a three-point lead with 4:33 left on the clock.
