Watch: Butler's Roosevelt Jones hits 3/4-court shot to close first half

Heading into Saturday's game at Marquette, Butler Bulldogs star Roosevelt Jones had 1,366 career points. None of those came from behind the three-point line.

That's right. The man who can score in ways that makes most people sore, had never hit a three-pointer for the Bulldogs.

Well, that changed on Saturday at Marquette. With just :02 left in the first half and Butler trailing 37-34, Jones received the pass from about 65 feet from the basket and heaved a 3/4-court shot that banked in to tie the game at the halftime buzzer.
