JR Interview with JaKobe Coles

Hey guys, this is Kenan Thompson. I have a problem with you. Yes, you. None of y'all told me that Auto Trader has millions of new and used cars that I can shop from home. I thought we were friends. I put smiles on your face, but I'm not smiling.

No one told me that with Auto Trader a dealer can deliver cars to my home or that I could shop by price on Auto Trader. No one. Consider this friendship that you just learned we had officially over. Finally, it's easy.

Auto Trader. Hey Jacoby, what's going on, man? What's going on?

What's going on? Well, you've calmed down a little bit. You were real hyped after that floater to win the game for TCU, man.

Oh yeah, for sure. You know, I was a little lit, but I was just happy for my guys. Happy for my guys.

I hear that. Jacoby Coles is joining us. TCU knocked off Arizona State 72 to 70. Jacoby hit the floater with about a second left, less than two seconds left to help knock off Arizona State. Man, you guys had to come back from down 10 plus points to knock them off. What was coach Jamie Dixon telling y'all to get you straight?

The biggest thing was just staying together. The guys that we put against today, they were really good. They took a lot of dribble shots and, you know, we just had to make them take more tough shots and ultimately we did that and we stuck together and we got to win.

It's been quite a, well, I'll get to last week, but even talking about today. Mike Miles was the one who threw you the ball. He was getting busy all game, ended the game with 26 points. What did Mike mean to y'all for that game and that comeback? Well, you know, me and Mike have been playing together for probably about four years now and, you know, me and him have always had good chemistry and knowing, you know, give each other the ball and playing off each other and it was just another one of those moments like it was in high school when we played the Titans where, you know, he trusted me and, you know, he knew that they were going to double team him and, you know, I was the second option and he trusted me with the ball and, you know, ultimately I had confidence in my shot and, you know, it went in for me. We know that Miles was hurt not too long ago.

He was limping around a little bit in the course of the game. How's he feeling after the game, post game? Oh man, he's happy, man. He's happy for our guys. He's excited, but we're still focused, man. We're ready for the next round, ready for Gonzaga on Sunday and that's our focus now. You know, tonight we're going to enjoy it, but after tonight, you know, we got to go back to the drawing board and be ready for next game. Jacoby Coles is joining us here from TCU.

Had the game-winning runner, the game-winning floater, 72 to 70. They knock off Arizona State. You talk about taking on the Zags next week. We saw, unfortunately, you guys did not come out on top in the Big 12 tournament.

How has this week been like in regards to preparation for the tournament and in regards to bouncing back after the Big 12? Just focus, man. You know, we focus in practice, we walk through with them, scout. The biggest thing about this tournament is focus is staying together and if we can do that as a team and do it for 40 minutes, I don't see a team beating us. Today, you know, this team hit a lot of tough shots, but ultimately we stay poised and we stay together and we stay focused and, you know, that's what led us to the win and, you know, I believe, I truly believe if we keep doing that, you know, there's no one that's going to beat us. Okay, last question for you, Jacoby. You hit that floater to win the game today for TCU.

A lot of America is finding out about you. They're watching TCU. Someone who has never seen this squad play before, how would you describe them? What are we in store for when you take on the Zags? You're just going to see a lot of brothers, you know, playing together and playing for each other. Ultimately, you know, we're going to play hard. We're going to play tough and we're going to stay together and we're going to do the best we can to get the win and, you know, and, you know, that's what our team is about. You know, we're always hyped for wins. We're hyped for each other. We're happy for each other and that's the TCU culture and that's what we built here and that's what you guys are going to see on Sunday.

Okay. Hey, congratulations on that game winner. Congratulations on knocking off Arizona State and good luck against those Zags. Thank you so much, Jacoby. Appreciate you. Right. Appreciate you.

Thank you. No doubt about it. We just had a conversation that was Jacoby Coles from TCU.

He decided to knock down that floater about a second and a half left in the game. Honestly, the economy got a little scary in 2022 and that could continue in 2023.
