TCU’s Mike Miles is Big 12 Men’s Player of the Week
Mike Miles of TCU became the first Horned Frog this season to the Big 12 Men’s Player of the Week award on Monday.
In addition, Baylor forward Kendall Brown was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week award, his first weekly recognition of the season.
Miles, a sophomore, led the Horned Frogs to an 80-73 victory on the road over Georgetown to finish out the Big 12-Big East Battle. Miles scored 14 points in the second half, and 20 for the game, to help the Horned Frogs pull away in the contest. Miles also had five assists and six rebounds.
TCU is not ranked, but the Horned Frogs have just one loss on the season and are on the cusp of breaking into ESPN’s Bracketology.
Brown, a true freshman who is drawing notice on NBA Draft boards, helped the Bears to a 78-70 road win at Oregon. The victory kept the Bears in the No. 1 spot in the country. Brown had 17 points and four rebounds. Fifteen of Brown’s points came in the second half, and he scored nine points in a 12-point run that allowed the Bears to push their lead to 12 points.
