What a story 🙌pic.twitter.com/dhsdtAk9HU — NCAA March Madness (@marchmadness) January 9, 2021 According to ESPN, Saturday was the three-year anniversary of Jones' leukemia diagnosis. "I use it as my motivation," Jones told NCAA.com's Andy Katz after the game. "As a reason to why I wake up everyday, why I want to come out here and play this game. Without God, and without me being able to fight through that, I wouldn't be here where I am today." "I'm just appreciative of every opportunity I'm able to get. I'll continue to work hard, just so I can become the guy that I want to be." Texas, ranked fourth in the AP poll and 10th in the latest NET rankings, is now 9-1 this season. Its 3-0 conference record now includes road wins over then-No. 3 Kansas and No. 14 West Virginia.
