Mohamed Wague - Still wearing walking boot Wague (foot) is still wearing a walking boot, according to Jared MacDonald of Bowling Green Daily News.
Impact West Virginia's head coach Bob Huggins said he thinks "it is going to be a while" before Wague can play again. Unfortunately for him, he is not expected to participate in the 2023 Big 12 Tournament. With that in mind, Wague will have to wait until March Madness if he wants to play again before the 2022-23 NCAA season's conclusion.

Kedrian Johnson - Thrives at FT line in big win Johnson registered 23 points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 14-15 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and six steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 89-81 victory over Kansas State.
Impact Johnson accumulated a season high in points thanks to his massive outing from the free-throw line. This also helped make up for his paltry shooting performance from the field. However, Johnson continued to contribute on the defensive end with a season high in steals and one of his best outings as a passer with six assists. Johnson finished the final five games of the regular season averaging 15.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.0 steals per game.

James Okonkwo - Plays eight minutes Okonkwo finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound over eight minutes during Saturday's 89-81 victory over Kansas State.
Impact During the 2022-23 Mountaineers' tournament action, Okonkwo is expected to be a substitute who does not play much. He averaged 10.4 minutes across his 28 games between Nov. 7 and March 4. Because tournament games are expected to be competitive, the Mountaineers may have Jimmy Bell play more rather than alternating him with Okonkwo.

Omar Silverio - Headed to West Virginia Silverio committed to transfer to West Virginia on Thursday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Joe Toussaint - Helps carry WVU to win Toussaint finished Monday's 72-69 victory over Iowa State with 19 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes.
Impact Toussaint posted his best statistical outing since putting up 22-6-2 in the Jan. 25 win over Texas Tech. The senior reserve has not seen much of a consistent role throughout his first campaign with the Mountaineers, and that continued with his mere six field-goal attempts Monday. However, he cashed on his opportunities, matching his season high in three-pointers while also sending home all eight of his attempts from the charity stripe. Toussaint also posted a new season high in rebounds. Still, he's unlikely to garner nearly as much production during West Virginia's regular-season finale versus Kansas State on Saturday.

James Okonkwo - Sustains ankle injury Okonkwo (ankle) exited Monday's game with a right ankle injury, Jared MacDonald of Bowling Green Daily News reports.
Impact Okonkwo was unable to return to the contest, and he logged just one rebound across one minute of action in the 72-69 win over Iowa State. The 6-foot-8 sophomore, who has averaged 2.6 points, three rebounds and 0.7 blocks on 10.5 minutes per game, will likely be a game-time decision for Saturday's showdown with Kansas State.
