‘Big Three’ watch
A weekly update on Minnesotans Tyus Jones (Apple Valley, Duke), Reid Travis (DeLaSalle, Stanford) and Rashad Vaughn (Cooper, UNLV):
Vaughn scored a game-high 20 points and hit final-minute free throws to tie rival Nevada-Reno, but UNLV still lost its third in a row 64-62.
Jones finished with only eight points in Duke’s 73-65 win over Wake Forest to remain undefeated, but the Apple Valley product had the game’s highest offensive rating.
Travis remains out because of a leg stress fracture.
