Terrence Jones scored 27 points and No. 17 Kentucky avoided its first losing streak under coach John Calipari with a 72-58 victory over No. 23 Notre Dame on Wednesday night in the SEC/Big East Invitational. Jones had been chastised by Calipari for taking a pregame nap before a loss to North Carolina on Saturday, a game in which Jones scored just nine points on 3-of-17 shooting. The freshman forward had no such problems against the Irish. He made 9 of 18 shots – including a huge 3-pointer with just over 2 minutes left – grabbed 17 rebounds and added some late free throws for Kentucky (6-2).
