"Definitely disappointed in myself. I feel like I can play a lot better," Jones said."I put a lot into it and I feel really bad. I let my team down, let the coaches down, the whole organization, everybody -- the fans. I have to put a better product out there to beat good teams." "I feel like I made progress this year so far. Just not today. Definitely took a bunch of steps back," Jones said.
"For me, just not good enough. It wasn't my day. You can't turn the ball over like that and beat good teams," Jones said."I think it will be a good test for me to try to stay focused on what I can control, and that's playing better. Hopefully there's better days ahead. Just bury it, try to learn from it, and move on -- don't make it turn into another loss."
