Jaren Holmes - Nine dimes in OT thriller Holmes ended with 12 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 81-79 OT win over Villanova. Impact Holmes served as the Cyclones' top offensive distributor in this narrow win at the Phil Knight Invitational, as he dished out five assists to team-leading scorer Gabe Kalscheur (23 points, 8-19 FG, 5-15 3Pt). While the 6-foot-4 senior missed 10 field-goal attempts, he still logged double-digit points for the fourth game in a row. Holmes has averaged a career-high 16.8 points per game so far in the 2022-23 campaign, and he should continue to play an important all-around role on offense Friday against North Carolina.
