Jonathan Powell - Leads team off benchPowell notched 17 points (6-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 79-45 win over North Carolina Central.

ImpactPowell saw 29 minutes during the blowout victory, setting season-best marks in scoring and assists. This performance came on the heels of a four-game stretch of just eight total points on 2-18 shooting. However, Powell has posted double-figure point totals in every game this season outside of this most recent run and will be an important bench piece for the Mountaineers as they enter conference play.
