TCU point guard Mike Miles is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday night’s matchup against Oklahoma State, per CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. He did not play Saturday against Kansas State because of a wrist injury.

Miles leads the Horned Frogs with 15.4 points and 4.2 assists per game this season. If he is unable to go, Francisco Farabello would likely receive another start in his place. The Argentina native played 33 minutes with Miles out against the Wildcats, scoring 14 points and dishing four assists.

TCU has already faced Oklahoma State once this season, suffering a narrow 57-56 defeat in Stillwater on Jan. 19. Miles was limited to eight points on 2-for-15 shooting in that loss. The Horned Frogs are 15-5 on the season and currently listed as a nine seed in On3’s latest bracketology projections. They are one of six teams from the Big 12 predicted to make the NCAA Tournament.

A Texas native, Mike Miles is in just his second season with TCU. He was named to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team after being one of just five freshmen to average 13 points, three rebounds and three assists last season.

Following his freshman year, Miles competed for the USA U19 team in the 2021 FIBA World Cup. With TCU coach Jamie Dixon leading the way, the US claimed a gold medal in the tournament after an 83-81 victory against France in the championship. Miles finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in the championship game. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 assists over the entire tournament.

The Horned Frogs have a tough remaining schedule, with six games left against currently ranked opponents. Following Tuesday night’s battle with the Cowboys, TCU is set to travel to Lubbock and face No. 9 Texas Tech.

Tip off for the game Tuesday is set for 6 p.m. CT in Fort Worth, Texas.
