Men's Basketball: TCU Beats Alcorn State 93-74 To Move to 5-0 On The Season
The TCU men's basketball team advanced to 5-0 for the first time since the 2017-18 season with a 93-74 win over Alcorn State Tuesday. Four Frogs reached double figures with 20 assists on 27 made field goals.
Notable TCU Players:
JaKobe Coles - 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals
Emanuel Miller - 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists
Micah Peavy - 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals
Essam Mostafa - 10 points, 5 rebounds
Ice Coles
JaKobe Coles continues his great start to the season leading the Frogs in scoring again for the third time in five games. Coles had 20 points on 7-11 shooting and 4-5 from three. His four three-pointers set a new career high for the Junior forward. If this trend continues, look for JaKobe to be the go-to guy for TCU throughout the season as he becomes one of the bigger surprises in the Big 12.
The Three-Headed Monster
Throughout the season, Jamie Dixon has been giving similar amounts of minutes to Ernest Udeh Jr., Xavier Cork, and Essam Mostafa at center. Against Alcorn State, all three played extremely well going a combined 8-9 from the field, totaling 23 points. As Dixon continues to be pleased with all three big men, this could remain constant for TCU as it helps keep them fresh throughout the game.
Mr. Consistent Miller
Emanuel Miller has reached double figures for the fourth consecutive game and hasn't shot under 44.4% from the field all year. Adding 13 points on 5-9 shooting against Alcorn State, Miller contributed in every manner for the Frogs, leading the team in plus/minus at 26. The Preseason All-Big 12 member has been TCU's most consistent player and will be their steady force all season.
Up Next: TCU will play their last game of the six-game home stand against Houston Christian on Monday, November 27. The game will tip-off at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
