JAREN HOLMES NEWS

Blanked from beyond the arc Holmes ended with 12 points (6-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 59-41 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Holmes failed to hit a three-pointer for the fourth time in the last eight games, as he finished the season shooting just 20.6 percent from beyond the arc during this span. The 6-foot-4 senior finished the 2022-23 campaign averaging 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists, though he shot a career-low 38.9 percent from the field. Holmes will now have the opportunity to return to Iowa State for his final year of collegiate eligibility next season.

The St. Bonaventure transfer ultimately finished his first campaign with Iowa State as the team's leading, and most consistent, scorer with 13.2 points per game. He also provided solid production with an average of 3.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists. Holmes figures to play a leading role during Iowa State's upcoming postseason campaign, which will begin with Thursday's rematch versus Baylor in the Big 12 Conference Tournament.

Subpar shooting performance in loss Holmes totaled nine points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 72-54 loss to Texas.

The 6-foot-4 wing has averaged 13.1 points while shooting 39 percent from the floor overall this season. He's also tallied 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 rebounds per game, making him a solid overall fantasy contributor. Holmes' next chance to get back above double-digit points will come Saturday versus Oklahoma.

Leading scorer in defensive win Holmes supplied 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 68-53 win over Kansas.

Impact Holmes supplied the Cyclones' team high in points as the team dismantled Kansas' offense, holding the Jayhawks to a season-low 53 points. The 6-foot-4 senior has now scored in double figures during all but five of Iowa State's 22 games this season, as he's paced the team with 13.6 points per game on the year. Expect Holmes to continue carrying the offensive load for his team Wednesday against a West Virginia squad that has allowed 69.5 points per game this season.

Tallies 23 points in win Holmes notched 23 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 80-76 win over Kansas State.

Impact Holmes matched his season high in points while also posting his second-most assists of any game this season. The 40.9 percent field-goal shooter has been a very up-and-down scorer, logging 7, 21, 8 and 23 points over the past four games. However, his solid production either on the boards (4.5) and as an offensive distributor (4.5) has buoyed his fantasy value during this span. His career high 12.2 field-goal attempts per game should continue to give him plenty of upside moving forward.

Paces scoring in big victory Holmes closed Tuesday's 78-67 victory over Texas with 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes.

Impact Holmes posted over 20 points for the first time since the Nov. 25 win over UNC and his third time this season overall. The 6-foot-4 senior's scoring average had taken a slight dip over the first five Big 12 games (10.4), though he still averaged 10.8 field-goal attempts per game over this span. Holmes will likely continue to split the Cyclones' top scoring duties with fellow senior guards Caleb Grill and Gabe Kalscheur moving forward.

Continues poor shooting Holmes provided 10 points (5-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 63-60 victory over Oklahoma.

Impact Holmes put up another inefficient shooting performance following his 3-for-11 outing versus Baylor on Saturday. The 6-foot-4 senior has scored double-digit points in all but two games this season, though that's primarily due to his high volume of attempts (12.8). Holmes has shot 37.7 percent from the field over his first 13 games with Iowa State, and it may continue to need time to get his feet under him after spending the first three seasons of his career at mid-major St. Bonaventure.

Stymied in blowout defeat Holmes contributed seven points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 75-56 loss to Iowa.

Impact Holmes was unable to provide any spark to the Cyclones' woeful shooting performance, as he was held to single-digit scoring for just the second time this season. Over nine starts in 2022-23, the St. Bonaventure transfer has been the only Iowa State to average double-digit points (13.9). However, he's also shot a career-low 36.9 percent from the floor while attempting a career-high 13.6 field goals per game. Holmes' prominent shooting role alongside fellow senior guard Gabe Kalscheur should continue to net him a respectable scoring average moving forward.

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.

Highly efficient in short debut Holmes closed Monday's 88-39 win over IUPUI with 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals over 24 minutes.

Impact Holmes finished as the Cyclones' leading scorer in his debut with the team Monday. In 33 starts during his final campaign with St. Bonaventure, the senior transfer averaged 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals across 38 minutes per contest. While it will be difficult for him to replicate his eye-catching stat line against IUPUI, Holmes should see plenty of opportunities alongside Gabe Kalscheur moving forward, as the two look to make up for the loss of 2021-22 leading scorers Izaiah Brockington and Tyrese Hunter.

Hands out five assists Holmes ended with 14 points (4-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 75-66 loss to George Mason.

Impact Holmes continues to be a steady option for the Bonnies and his fantasy managers alike. They rarely take their starters off the court, which leads to plenty of chances and production across those five. Holmes is averaging 15.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 38.4 minutes as a junior, all personal bests. Bona's upcoming schedule presents favorably in terms of pace and lack of defense, so feel free to use Holmes and his teammates nightly when available.

Hands out nine assists Wednesday Holmes ended with 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 84-71 win over Loyola Maryland.

Impact Holmes tied Jalen Adaway for a team-high in scoring while the assist mark was a career high as he had the ball in his hands more with Kyle Lofton sidelined by an ankle injury. Lofton is averaging a career-best 16.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists thus far, and now has at least six assists in four straight.
