Miles earned Second-Team All-Big 12 recognition despite missing eight games due to injuries this season. The junior guard from Highland Hills shot a career-best from the field and from 3-point range (36.2 percent). Miles spent three seasons with the Horned Frogs, leading TCU to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances over the last two years. Miles earned First-Team All-Big 12 honors as a sophomore after garnering an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention during his freshman season, when he made the All-Big 12 Freshman Team.
