Carries team in upset loss Small logged 23 points (7-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 67-60 loss to Colorado.

Impact Small continued to carry the Mountaineers, but the team fell short despite his best efforts. The senior guard reached the 20-point barrier for the 14th time this season while dishing out at least five dimes for the 22nd time. Small will now join his teammates in sweating out Selection Sunday as the Mountaineers are squarely on the bubble and have left their fate in the hands of the selection committee.

Another huge effort Small closed Saturday's 72-65 win over UCF with 25 points (7-23 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Small flirted with a triple-double, ultimately falling one assist and three boards shy of accomplishing the feat. Small has been absolutely huge for a West Virginia squad that lost star transfer Tucker DeVries early in the season, starting all 31 games for the Mountaineers while playing at least 30 minutes in all but two contests, averaging 18.5 points, 5.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals. Small has likely earned a first-team all-conference selection and will look to showcase his skills as the Mountaineers head into the Big 12 tournament and appear to be poised to hear their name announced on selection Sunday.

Leading tourney push Small chipped in 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 71-69 victory over Utah.

Impact Small led the way with 18 points on 50.0-percent shooting from the floor while also distributing a team-high seven assists as the Mountaineers held on for an important win. Small, who also added four boards, has been huge for a Mountaineer squad that has exceeded expectations and are in line to make their third trip to the NCAA tournament in the last six seasons. As WVU prepares to close their regular season Saturday against UCF, the senior point guard will enter that contest having averaged 18.2 points, 5.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 36.1 minutes through 30 games.

Small has 23 points, 10 assists and West Virginia jumps out early and cruises past TCU 73-55

Javon Small scored 23 points and had 10 assists to lead West Virginia to a 73-55 victory over TCU

FEBRUARY 26 • Associated Press

Playmaking skills on full display Small recorded 23 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 73-55 win over TCU.

Impact Small posted his third double-double of the season, dropping 23 points along with 10 dimes during Tuesday's stomping of TCU. The senior point guard, who also added five boards and a steal, had previously accomplished the feat with double-digit rebounding totals but his season-high assist mark led to his attainment of the deed Tuesday. Small also drained a season-high 6-of-11 from downtown as he continues to lead West Virginia towards the NCAA tournament and make a push towards being named to the All-Big 12 first team.

Impact Small played 41 minutes and struggled from long range but still managed to pace the Mountaineers in scoring and assists during Saturday's tough OT loss to Baylor. The senior point guard reached the 20-point plateau for the 11th time this season and the sixth time across 14 conference games. Small has stepped up his ball-distribution over the last five games, collecting 7.8 helpers during that stretch while adding 16.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 thefts.

Javon Small scored 19 points to go with nine assists and West Virginia beat Cincinnati 63-50 to snap a three-game losing streak

FEBRUARY 2 • Associated Press

Season high nine assists Small amassed 19 points (6-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, nine assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 63-50 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Small drained four from beyond the arc en route to a 19-point performance while finishing one assist shy of a double-double. The assist total was a season high for Small who also contributed defensively with two steals and two blocked shots. The senior point guard was coming off a season-low eight points, the first time all year he's failed to reach double figures. The Mountaineers are one of the surprises of the Big 12 this season, currently sitting at .500 in conference play thanks in large part to the play of Small, who's averaged 18.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals across 36.9 minutes through 10 conference games.

Another huge performance Small recorded 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and four steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 64-57 win over Iowa State.

Impact Small continues to come up huge for the Mountaineers, posting his sixth performance with greater than 25 points. It was the fourth time this season Small has reached at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in a game. Despite playing the entire conference slate thus far without star forward Tucker DeVries, West Virginia has recorded a surprising 4-2 record including top-10 wins over Kansas and Iowa State thanks in large part to the exploits of Small. The senior point guard has averaged 20.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals across 37.2 minutes during Big-12 play.
