Wildcats forward Terrence Jones believes that clearing his mind will go a long way toward making him more productive on the court.

"I'm just not thinking as much," Jones said after scoring 13 points, grabbing 9 rebounds, and blocking a career-high five shots in a win over Arkansas on Tuesday night.

Jones vowed to be "less conscious" about his hand, a reference to the finger he dislocated against Chattanooga on Dec. 17.

Asked if the finger is completely healed, Jones said, "Nah, it's not. But I don't use it as an excuse. I just play."
