This is so disappointing. Word out of Portland, Oregon has it that former University of Kentucky forward Terrence Jones and current Houston Rockets forward Terrence Jones has been arrested.
If you're a UK player, and unless you commit a heinous crime during your time on Earth, you are a beloved individual in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the rest of your days.

Toward the end of the University of Kentucky's Tuesday night loss to Alabama, the camera caught UK Coach John Calipari directing a profanity-laden verbal assault at freshman star Terrence Jones.
