Duke basketball: Tre Jones does what only Bobby Hurley could do

Duke basketball sophomore Tre Jones is dishing out the exact number of assists per game this season (7.4) that Bobby Hurley averaged for his entire second season (1990-91), which ended in the program's first national championship.

Hurley, who averaged no less than seven dimes for any of his four campaigns and whose No. 11 adorns Cameron Indoor Stadium's rafters, remains the NCAA's all-time assists leader with 1,076, a mark Jones likely wouldn't reach even if he was to stay in college through his senior year.

After all, between last season and the Blue Devils' 8-1 start this season, Jones has 259 assists, 30 less than Hurley tallied just as a freshman.
