Askia Jones

A Kansas State University graduate born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jones left college as the third-leading scorer in its history. He finished his four-year college career averaging 14.8 points a game. His scoring prowess was demonstrated on March 24, 1994, when he scored 62 points in only 28 minutes against Fresno State in the 1994 NIT quarterfinals, the second-highest postseason scoring total in college basketball history. The 14 three-point field goals scored by Jones in that game are a postseason record. He is also the last Division I men\'s player to date to have a 60-point regulation game; the only other players since then to score 60 points, Eddie House in 2000 and Ben Woodside in 2008, respectively required two and three overtimes.\n', '
