Roosevelt Jones posted the first triple-double for Butler since the 1983-84 season as Butler ran away from St. John's, 89-56, at Carnesecca Arena in New York City Saturday afternoon. The win improves the Bulldogs to 16-7 on the season and 5-6 in BIG EAST play.
Jones had 10 points and 10 assists to go along with a career-high 14 rebounds for his triple-double. Tim McRoberts was the last Bulldog to accomplish the feat, posting his against Oral Roberts Feb. 20, 1984.
"Rose's impact is on both ends of the court," said Butler coach Chris Holtmann.
