Walker Leads team with 23 Points
Ja’Kobe Walter logged 23 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and four rebounds over 43 minutes before fouling out of Saturday’s 82-76 OT loss to Houston. It was an impressive showing for Walter against one of the stingiest defenses in the nation, contributing 23 points for the second time in three games while matching a season-high effort from behind the arc with five threes. The star freshman has had his ups and downs in Big 12 play, but has performed much better on the offensive end over the last five, contributing 17.2 points and 4.2 rebounds while producing double-figure scoring totals in each of those contests.
Coles Scores 18 in just 22 Minutes
JaKobe Coles ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Saturday’s 75-57 win over Cincinnati. Coles needed just 22 minutes to match Emanuel Miller for the team lead in scoring. The 18 points represents a high-water mark for Coles in Big 12 play, and the highest scoring total he’s posted since scoring 20 against Alcorn State on Nov. 21. The junior forward has provided some offensive punch for the Horned Frogs over the last seven games, averaging 11.0 points in just 18.1 minutes per contest.
