Markquis Nowell - Does it all in OT winNowell notched 23 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and seven steals over 43 minutes during Saturday's 82-76 OT win over West Virginia.

ImpactNowell had one of his best outings of the season despite his continued inefficiency as a shooter. The 5-foot-8 point guard tallied at least 10 assists for the fifth time this season while only turning the ball over three times. Nowell also made his presence felt as a pest on the defensive end of the court, and he's now averaged a career-high 2.4 steals over 13 games this season. He also ranks second in the nation with 8.5 assists per game, and he should continue to dish out plenty of good looks to the rest of the Wildcats' starting five, all of whom have shot at least 45 percent from the field so far this season.

Tre Mitchell - Double-double in conference openerMitchell registered 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists across 41 minutes during Saturday's 82-76 OT loss to Kansas State.

ImpactMitchell notched his first double-double of the season while also leading the Mountaineers in field-goal attempts ahead of Erik Stevenson and Kedrian Johnson, who all put up 10 shots from the field. Mitchell has emerged as West Virginia's most all-around productive player with 13.1 points and a team-high 5.3 rebounds per game. He has also put up double-digit points in all but three of his eleven starts. Mitchell should continue serving as a key contributor to the Mountaineers' balanced scoring attack as the schedule gets harder heading into Big 12 play.
