Freshman Jonathan Powell scored a season-high 17 points, Joseph Yesufu added 14 points and short-handed West Virginia beat North Carolina Central 79-45 on Tuesday nightDECEMBER 11 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joseph Yesufu - Provides spark off bench Yesufu recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 79-45 win over North Carolina Central.
Impact Yesufu had not played in the prior two games but took advantage of his extended run Tuesday by connecting on four threes en route to a season-high 14 points. The 14 points represented two more points than he had scored during his previous five appearances this season while the five rebounds also accounted for a season high.

Jonathan Powell - Leads team off bench Powell 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.
Impact Powell 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.
DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Eduardo Andre - Gets start in place of DeVries Andre will start for West Virginia against North Carolina Central on Tuesday night.
Impact It was announced on Tuesday that starting forward Tucker DeVries is out indefinitely, and West Virginia has inserted Andre into the lineup to replace him. Andre has seen some action this season, not yet starting but averaging 14.3 minutes each game and logging 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds. He'll need to step up for the Mountaineers in the coming weeks.

He averages 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks. There's currently no timetable for his return. In the meantime, look for Jayden Stone and Jonathan Powell to see more minutes in his absence.

Tucker DeVries - Scorching from long range DeVries accumulated 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 73-60 victory over Georgetown.
Impact DeVries followed up a 26-point-performance in his last outing with a 15-point effort Friday to help lead the Mountaineers to victory. The sharp-shooter connected on three triples and has now gone 11-18 (61.1 percent) from long range over the last two games. The senior forward's production has dipped in his move from Drake to Morgantown but he's still putting together a highly-productive season, averaging 14.9 points (47.3 percent from three), 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks while playing 34.5 minutes per night through eight games.
DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Toby Okani - Continues double-figure streak Okani closed Friday's 73-60 win over Georgetown with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes.
Impact Okani shot 62.5 percent from the floor for his fourth-consecutive double-digit scoring contribution. The senior wing has shot 61.8 percent including 54.5 percent from long range over this recent four-game stretch, averaging 13.3 points and 3.3 rebounds during that period.
DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Javon Small - Remains on tear Small registered 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 73-60 win over Georgetown.
Impact Small had a huge night, draining four threes among his nine field goals on the way to a 26-point performance during Friday's win. The senior guard rebounded from a 2-9 performance in his last game to post his fourth 20-plus point game in the last five games. It was also the sixth time in eight games Small added at least two steals. Over his last five games, Small has averaged 24.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.6 blocks across 39.0 minutes per contest.

Eduardo Andre - Good to go for Friday Andre (undisclosed) will be available for West Virginia against Georgetown, Cody Nespor of West Virginia Sports Now reports.
Impact Andre missed the Mountaineers' win over Arizona on Nov. 29, but will be available once again on Friday night. The big man averages 3.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists.
DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Eduardo Andre - In a good spot with injury Head coach Darian DeVries indicated that Andre (undisclosed) is in a good spot with his injury, per Keenan Cummings of Rivals.com.
Impact It's a positive update for Andre after the senior missed the team's previous game against Arizona with an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-11 center has been a solid bench piece for the Mountaineers since transferring in from Fresno State in the off-season, averaging 3.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 14 minutes per game through six contests. DeVries' words indicate that Andre may be able to make his return against Georgetown on Friday, but until an official update comes he will continue to be labeled as a game-time decision.
DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jayden Stone - Day-to-day with injury Head coach Darian DeVries indicated that Stone (upper body) is still listed as day-to-day but is progressing in his recovery, per Keenan Cummings of Rivals.com.
Impact The update, while not declaring Stone ready to play, seems to indicate that a return could be drawing nearer. The senior guard has yet to play a game for the Mountaineers this season after suffering an injury in the off-season. The former Detroit Mercy transfer was looked at as a potential impact player for West Virginia heading into the 2024-25 season, as he averaged 20.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in his final season with the Titans. Stone can continue to be looked at as questionable for Friday's game against Georgetown barring further updates.
