WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS NEWS

Erik Stevenson - Racks up another prolific outing Stevenson provided 23 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 loss to Kansas.

Impact Stevenson put up at least 23 points for the third game in a row, stamping an exclamation mark on his massive stretch of production over the past month. Across the last 10 games, the 6-foot-4 senior has averaged 18.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He's also shot 41.9 percent on 14.8 field-goal attempts and 44.1 percent on 6.8 three-point tries per game over that span. Stevenson's role as West Virginia's top scorer should make him a valuable target in fantasy lineups over the final week of the Big 12 regular season.

Emmitt Matthews - Nets solid stat line in loss Matthews racked up 13 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 76-74 loss to Kansas.

Impact Matthews posted a positive shooting performance while matching his season high for field-goal attempts in a game this season. The 6-foot-7 senior also wrangled his most rebounds of any in-conference contest this season, and he's averaged 9.4 points and 3.9 boards per game since the start of Big 12 play Dec. 31. Matthews and West Virginia will look to finish strong over the final three regular-season games, starting with Monday's road contest at Iowa State.

Tre Mitchell - Nabs nine boards in loss Mitchell ended Saturday's 78-72 loss to Texas Tech with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes.

Impact Mitchell logged almost twice as many rebounds as the Mountaineers' next-closest player Mohamed Wague, the latter of whom logged five boards in five minutes off the bench. This also marked the starting forward's second-most rebounds of any game this season. However, this strong showing didn't help West Virginia from being outrebounded 39-28 during Saturday's defeat. Mitchell has now averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds while playing 28.7 minutes per game this season.

Erik Stevenson - Breaks out of scoring slump Stevenson ended Saturday's 78-72 loss to Texas Tech with 27 points (9-21 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes.

Impact Stevenson averaged 5.3 points and 2.7 rebounds while playing just 20 minutes per game across the three games leading into Saturday's contest. However, the 6-foot-4 three-point specialist was able to snap this rough stretch his second-most prolific scoring performance of the season. Stevenson has led the Mountaineers with 14.3 points per game this season. He'll look to string together consistent shooting performances when West Virginia welcomes Oklahoma State to Morgantown on Monday night.

Kedrian Johnson - Logs new 20-point outing in loss Johnson chipped in 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 78-72 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Johnson was coming off a recent rough stretch of scoring, totaling just nine points on 3-of-14 shooting across the previous two games. However, he was able to break this slump by scoring 20 or more points for the fourth time this season. All four of these outings have come across the Mountaineers' past 10 outings. While Johnson has been extremely hit-or-miss during this stretch -- finishing in single digits five times -- he's still netted 17.8 points per game across the Red Raiders' six home games since mid-January. He'll look to post another performance at home Monday versus Oklahoma State.

Joe Toussaint - Chips in 11 points off the bench Toussaint ended with 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 79-67 loss to Baylor.

Impact Toussaint logged one of his more productive outings of the season while playing more than 20 minutes for the first time in the past four games. The 6-foot senior has provided a solid scoring boost with 10.2 points per game off the bench, and he's also added 2.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists across his 26 outings. However, his playing time has varied while slotting into a reserve role. Toussaint has also converted 37.7 percent of his 8.3 field-goal attempts per game, making it difficult to elicit much consistent production from his questionable playing time.

Erik Stevenson - Logs two-game scoring skid Stevenson supplied three points (1-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and six rebounds in 18 minutes during Saturday's 94-60 loss to Texas.

Impact Stevenson was on one of the hottest streaks of his career with 24.5 points per game over four contests from Jan. 25 to Feb. 4. However, he's now accumulated just 11 points while shooting 2-of-13 from the field over the past two outings for West Virginia. He's also played a total of 40 minutes across this pair of games, and he also failed to log an assist for the first time this season Saturday. Stevenson will look to re-ignite his career-best scoring campaign (14.2) when West Virginia heads on the road versus Baylor on Monday.

Jimmy Bell - Limited role in blowout loss Bell racked up six points (1-2 FG, 4-6 FT) and five rebounds in 15 minutes during Saturday's 94-60 loss to Texas.

Impact Bell maintained his relatively moderate role in the Mountaineers' starting lineup as the team was ran off the floor Saturday. The 6-foot-10 senior has started all 24 of his game this season, but he's now averaged just 19.3 minutes per contest. Bell has still found ways to affect the game with 5.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. However, his overall production is more akin to a prominent role player off the bench than a true full-time starting center.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tre Mitchell - Quiet in blowout loss Mitchell racked up four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 94-60 loss to Texas.

Impact Mitchell posted a season low for field-goal attempts while playing slightly below his season average for minutes (29.1) during Saturday's loss. The 6-foot-9 senior was a consistent double-digit scorer through the first two months of the season, but he's now scored in double figures just twice in the last eight games. Mitchell has still averaged 4.7 rebounds per game during that span, but he's shot a paltry 35.7 percent from the field overall. Mitchell has shot at least held a field-goal percentage of 47 percent or better in each campaign of his four-year collegiate career, so he'll look to break out of this current slump Monday at Baylor.
