Gabe Osabuohien - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Likely to play Saturday Osabuohien (COVID-19 protocols) is likely to return for Saturday's game against Kansas State, Chris Anderson of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Osabuohien missed last Saturday's matchup with conference rival Texas. The 6-foot-7 forward has averaged 4.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals on 16.8 minutes per game, contributing efficient bench minutes for the Mountaineers. The redshirt-senior's ability to create turnovers will be a welcome addition back to West Virginia's lineup ahead of their matchup with Kansas State.

Won't play Saturday Osabuohien has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Texas due to COVID-19 protocols.

Impact It's not yet clear whether Osabuohien tested positive for the virus or whether he's considered a close contact, but he'll be one of several players unavailable for West Virginia on Saturday. Pauly Paulicap and Taj Thweatt could see a slight uptick in playing time against the Longhorns.

Sever rebounds off the bench Osabuohien totaled six points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-8 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 56-53 win over UConn.

Impact Osabuohien has been the top frontcourt option off the bench this season for the Mountaineers. He is averaging 4.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per contest in 16.6 minutes. Osabuohien and starter Isaiah Cottrell play similar minutes most nights.

Nine boards off bench Osabuohien came off the bench and had six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal in the win over Oakland.

Impact Isaiah Cottrell got the start at center in the opener, but Osabuohien was significantly more effective. He had a team-high in rebounds and was all over the place on defense. Osabuohien also played the third-most minutes with 24. Whether or not he starts shouldn't matter, as Osabuohien should be the third-best fantasy option on this team this season for his ability to rebound and play great defense.

Starting Saturday Osabuohien will start Saturday's contest against Oklahoma State.

Impact The senior will earn a start on West Virginia's Senior Day. Osabuohien may see a few more minutes than usual Saturday, but his start doesn't warrant a ton of fantasy consideration, as he's averaging 1.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 steals over 17.8 minutes per game this season.
