A weekly update on Minnesotans Tyus Jones (Apple Valley, Duke), Reid Travis (DeLa­Salle, Stanford) and Rashad Vaughn (Cooper, UNLV):

Jones has scored a total of 58 points in Duke's past three games, his first three-game stretch in which he has scored in double digits each night. No. 4 Duke visits No. 2 Virginia on Saturday night.

Vaughn scored 31 points and led the Rebels in rebounds (nine), steals (three) and blocks (two) in Saturday's overtime victory over Utah State.

Travis returns soon from an upper leg stress fracture.
