Three TCU Horned Frogs earn Big 12 basketball honors

Mike Miles Jr, Damion Baugh and Emmanuel Miller were all selected to the All-Big 12 team by the conference head coaches on Sunday.

Miles and Baugh were both selected to the second team as guards and Miller was an honorable mention for the Horned Frogs.

Miles was also named as one of 15 finalists for the John R. Wooden award given out annually to the best male and female players in the country. Miles averaged 17.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game on 50% shooting and 33% from three-point range while ranking as the third-highest scorer in the Big-12.

Miles’ second-team selection is a drop from his preseason nod as the conference’s Player of the Year. A midseason injury, which caused him to miss several games, had a big impact on the postseason honor.

Baugh earned his second straight All-Big 12 honors averaging 13 points,4.4 rebounds and 6 assists and 1.9 steals per game. No other player in the nation averages as many points, rebounds, assists and steals. Baugh led TCU in assists per game and was ranked third among players in the Big-12 Conference.

Miller earned his second straight honorable mention selection averaging 12.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game on 53.2% shooting and 42.2% shooting from three which leads the entire TCU team.

No. 22 TCU next plays No. 12 Kansas State in the quarterfinals of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. CT at the T-Mobile Center.
