Tre Mitchell - Comes off bench Monday nightMitchell supplied 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Monday's 76-58 victory over Mount St. Mary's.

ImpactMitchell's status for this season opener was up in the air after being spotted in a walking boot mid-October, and he still finished as West Virginia's season-leading scorer despite playing the second-fewest minutes of any Mountaineer. The 6-foot-9 senior played a relatively minor role after transferring to Texas from Massachusetts ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, as his scoring and rebounds per game fell by 10.1 and 3.2, respectively. Mitchell should have a chance to play a starring role in West Virginia's transfer-filled frontcourt this season.

Mohamed Wague - Nine points, boards Monday nightWague provided nine points (4-5 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 76-58 win over Mount St. Mary's.

ImpactWague played the third-most minutes of any Mountaineer to open the 2022-23 campaign, as the team rotated in 11 players against Mount St. Mary's. The sophomore big man did not see the court during his first collegiate season, and he could play a significant reserve role behind starting center Jimmy Bell moving forward.

Kobe Johnson - 15 minutes in season openerJohnson ended with four points (2-2 FG) in 15 minutes during Monday's 76-58 win over Mount St. Mary's.

ImpactJohnson got the start to open the 2022-23 campaign after coming off the bench for much of last season. However, the sophomore still played fewer minutes than fellow guards Seth Wilson (23), Kedrian Johnson (19), Joe Toussaint (17) and Erik Stevenson (18) on Monday night. Across 32 games in 2021-22, Johnson averaged 1.5 points and 0.7 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per contest, and he'll likely play a reserve role behind in the Mountaineers' backcourt moving forward.

Emmitt Matthews - Leads scoring in season openerMatthews chipped in 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 76-58 victory over Mount St. Mary's.

ImpactWith Tre Mitchell coming off the bench to open the season, Matthews finished with team highs in points, assists and minutes as the Mountaineers rotated in multiple players against Mount St. Mary's. The 6-foot-7 senior played his first three collegiate seasons at West Virginia before spending a season with Washington last year, averaging career highs in points (11.7), rebounds (4.7) and field-goal percentage (43.4). Matthews will now look to carve out a significant role alongside Mitchell and Jimmy Bell in the frontcourt this season.

Jimmy Bell - Doesn't score in WVU debutBell posted seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 12 minutes during Monday's 76-58 victory over Mount St. Mary's.

ImpactBell was used sparingly in his first game with the West Virginia program. The senior big man last played at the Division 1 level with St. Louis in the 2020-21 season, averaging 1.9 points and 1.8 rebounds in 8.7 minutes across 19 games. Bell then spent a year in the JUCO ranks before joining the Mountaineers this offseason, and his size and experience should earn him significant playing time in the team's frontcourt this season.
