TCU’s Mike Miles Jr. breaks down his fascinating pregame superstition with socks and shoes

TCU junior guard Mike Miles Jr. has a unique way of preparing before any basketball game.

Speaking with ESPN College GameDay‘s Rece Davis, Miles broke down his socks-and-shoes ritual that he performs before every game.

Building off a big game he had in high school, the TCU guard puts on his socks and shoes in this order: left sock, left shoe, right sock, right shoe.

He won’t just go socks then shoes, as that would throw off the superstition.

One of the more enjoyable parts of college hoops is getting to learn a bit more about the players on the court, and making it to TCU means Miles might want to keep this tradition going.
