JaKobe Coles hit a floater with three seconds remaining to give TCU the 72-70 victory over Arizona State in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Tournament.

Coles had 11 points in the Horned Frogs’ victory. TCU advances to play No. 3 seed Gonzaga on Sunday.

Social media was ablaze after the game-winner.

“JaKobe Coles. The TCU Hero.”

Horned Frogs survive Arizona State.

What a game. #MarchMadness

JaKobe Coles --- who inherited Eddie Lampkin's minutes up front ---- just sent TCU to the Round of 32. An incredible comeback for the Horned Frogs. Heartbreak for Arizona State.
