Chips in 15 points in win Coles ended Saturday's 83-82 victory over Texas Tech with 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Coles finished as the Horned Frogs' second-leading scorer behind guard Mike Miles (24) in this crucial conference win. The 6-foot-7 sophomore, who has come off the bench in all but one of his 29 appearances this season, also saw his second-longest playing time of the 2022-23 campaign. As a result, he outscored starting big men Emanuel Miller (14) and Xavier Cork (10), the latter of whom stepped in for injured center Eddie Lampkin (undisclosed) on Saturday. Coles has now averaged 12.1 points and 4.1 rebounds while playing 20.7 minutes per game over the last nine contests. He'll look to continue this strong end to the regular season Wednesday versus Texas.

No. 2 scorer in loss Coles ended Saturday's 72-68 loss to Baylor with 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes.

Impact Coles posted double-digit points for the fifth game in a row during this narrow loss to the conference-rival Bears. With Horned Frogs starters Mike Miles (knee) and center Eddie Lampkin (ankle) both missing time due to injury over the past few weeks, the 6-foot-7 Coles has helped fill the scoring gap in TCU's lineup. While coming off the bench over the past five games, the sophomore forward has averaged 14.0 points and 4.4 rebounds while converting 56.5 percent of his 9.2 field-goal tries per game. This boost in production has made Coles a player worthy of fantasy consideration so long as TCU's starting lineup continues to shift around due to injury.

Nears double-double in tight loss Coles produced 12 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Saturday's 81-74 OT loss to Mississippi State.

Impact Coles logged a season high in minutes with starting center Eddie Lampkin (ankle) sidelined for the second game in a row. The 6-foot-7 sophomore still came off the bench Saturday, as 6-foot-9 junior Xavier Cork drew the start versus Mississippi State. However, Coles still played 12 more minutes than Cork. Coles logged more than 15 minutes just once in the Horned Frogs' previous eight games, though this prominent playing time Saturday appears to indicate he could be in line for more increased usage so long as Lampkin remains out.

Continues consistent bench role Coles chipped in seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 79-52 win over Oklahoma.

Impact Coles has been a consistent role player off the bench for TCU this season. While his production and playing time have taken slight dips during conference play, he's still posting a consistent 5.8 points and 3.1 rebounds over an average of 12.5 minutes. Coles' solid production in limited playing time could promise more prolific stat lines if he's ever tapped to play a bigger role in place of starters Charles O'Bannon or Emanuel Miller.

Explodes in blowout win Coles chipped in 21 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 78-51 win over Jackson State.

Impact Coles logged the best stat line of his career while playing a prominent role in the Horned Frogs' unusual lineup Tuesday. With starters Mike Miles (undisclosed) and Emmanuel Miller (undisclosed) both sitting out, the sophomore forward saw a season high in minutes. Coles also remained highly efficient in this increased role, as he has now made 47.9 percent of his 6.0 field-goal tries per game. He also notched season highs in both attempted and made three-pointers, albeit against an overmatched Jackson State squad. Coles averaged 14.7 minutes per game over TCU's first seven contests, so it's unlikely he'll see this type of role once the team's starting five is at full strength moving forward.

Impact With starting guards Mike Miles (foot) and Damion Baugh (suspension) still out, Coles logged a season high in minutes as the Horned Frogs took a 53-26 lead into halftime.

Coles also asserted his dominance down low over the outmatched Warhawks, whose largest backcourt player stands at just 6-foot-5. Coles has averaged a career-high eight points, 4.8 rebounds and one assist over three games this season, though he'll face tougher competition later on this season.

Considered game-time call Coles has been labeled a game-time decision for Saturday's contest versus Baylor due to an ankle injury, Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Coles was a key contributor off the bench for the Horned Frogs to propel them to a solid non-conference win. The Butler transfer is averaging 6.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per contest this season. Coles will look to continue to help off the bench on Saturday against Texas A&M.

Impact Coles suffered a torn meniscus in January that cut his season at Butler short, and he elected to transfer to TCU the following summer. It appears he'll contribute in a frontcourt depth role, but it's a great sign to see that the knee issue is seemingly a thing of the past.
