JOE TOUSSAINT NEWS

Leads way in tourney exit Toussaint contributed 16 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Thursday's 80-67 loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Toussaint played all 40 minutes, but his team-leading effort was not enough as the Red Raiders fell to the Wolfpack. Toussaint retains one year of eligibility for the 2024-25 season should he choose to use it, finishing his first season in Lubbock with 33.1 minutes played, 12.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 steals while starting each of his 33 games played.

Solid three-category production Toussaint chipped in 13 points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 96-60 win over Sam Houston.

Impact The five assists were the third-highest total of the season for Toussaint, who leads Texas Tech with 4.1 assists per game. It was also the third-consecutive game the senior guard collected at least five rebounds. In his first year in Lubbock, Toussaint has combined with tag-team partner Pop Isaacs to average over 30 points per game as the diminutive but dynamic backcourt ignites the engine for the Red Raiders.

Steps up for new team Toussaint supplied 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 85-69 loss to Villanova.

Impact The senior guard put together a season high in points, assists, threes and field-goal percentage Wednesday. Toussaint transferred from West Virginia after previously spending three years in Iowa, but is now looking to take advantage of his first full-time role as a starter in Lubbock.

Seven assists in exhibition game Toussaint logged six points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven assists and one steal across his 36 minutes during the Red Raiders' exhibition game Sunday against Texas A&M.

Impact Toussaint almost accounted for half of the Red Raiders' assist total during their win. While excelling in that category (which Toussaint did Sunday) would be great for him, the question is if he can do so regularly. As a starter for Iowa's 2021-22 team, Toussaint averaged just under four assists (3.8) across 21 games. However, the Red Raiders completely revamped their roster in 2023 after a disappointing season. They would be willing to test out anything for better success, even if that means Toussaint being focused on as more of a high-end distributor.

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.

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.

Stout defensive performance Toussaint closed with nine points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 80-77 win over Auburn.

Impact Toussaint continued to play a prominent role off the bench for the Mountaineers. The 6-foot guard didn't have his best shooting performance, but he contributed elsewhere, tying with forward Jimmy Bell for a team high in assists. Toussaint has now played at least 21 minutes in all but one of the past eight games. He's also finished with double-digit points three times while hitting 36.6 percent of his 8.9 field-goal attempts per game during that span. Toussaint's game-to-game shooting variance makes him a hit-or-miss fantasy player moving forward.

Eight points in start Toussaint registered eight points (2-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 76-62 loss to Kansas.

Impact Toussaint logged his first start as a Mountaineer and played a season high in minutes with Kedrian Johnson (concussion) sitting out. The backup point guard did supply his second-most assists of any game this season, though he didn't match this with a larger scoring performance. Toussaint has now averaged 9.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 15 games this season.

Tough shooting performance in loss Toussaint ended Saturday's 84-74 loss to Xavier with nine points (3-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.

Impact Toussaint logged his second inefficient shooting performance in as many games, and he has now gone 5-of-18 from the floor overall during this span. The 6-foot senior did make just his seventh three-pointer of the year as just 2.9 of his 9.3 field-goal attempts per game have come from deep range. While he has not started in any of the Mountaineers' eight games, Toussaint still ranks third on the team in minutes (23.5) and points (10.9) per game. The quasi-starter should continue to see a prominent role versus Navy on Wednesday.

Adds 16 points in loss Toussaint amassed 16 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 80-68 loss to Purdue.

Impact Toussaint logged season highs in field-goal attempts while seeing his most extensive playing time of the season so far. The Iowa transfer also contributed a team-high four assists, though he also finished with his most turnovers of the season. Over five games with West Virginia, Toussaint has averaged career highs in points (11.6), rebounds (3.2), assists (3.4) and field-goal tries (9.8), and he should continue to play a consistent role off the bench against Portland State on Friday night.
