DJ Thomas - Gets hot from deep Thomas contributed 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 77-48 loss to Houston.

Impact Thomas came off the bench to lead the way for the Mountaineers, raining in 4-of-5 from beyond the arc en route to a 16 point effort. The blowout nature of the game afforded Thomas some extra run and led towards his 23 minutes of action, the most the 6-foot-9 freshman has seen since tallying 25 points in 28 minutes back in November against Lafayette. In total, Thomas now has six double-digit scoring performances this season.

Treysen Eaglestaff - Scores a dozen in win over KU Eaglestaff posted 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 86-75 win over Kansas.

Impact Eaglestaff has started every game this season for the Mountaineers, serving as the primary small forward for new coach Ross Hodge. As is often the case, his production has taken a hit with the move to a power conference, as his scoring has been cut in half to 9.3 ppg, and his shooting percentage is at a career-low 38.8 percent. On the bright side, he is averaging a career-best 4.4 rebounds per contest, and the Mountaineers have won back-to-back Big 12 games. Expect the game log to continue to be inconsistent, though with three 20-plus point games on the ledger, there's always "boom" potential.

Harlan Obioha - Records second double double Obioha totaled 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes during Saturday's 86-75 victory over Kansas.

Impact Obioha needed just 20 minutes to record his second double double of the season. Six of the 10 board came on the offensive end for the senior big man, who also redirected a couple of Jawhawk shot attempts in helping lead the Mountaineers to the upset. Obioha, who has started every game this season, had scored just two total points during West Virginia's first two conference games and it was just the second time in the last 12 that he's reached double figures.

Honor Huff - Drains six triples Huff produced 24 points (7-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 62-60 victory over Cincinnati.

Impact Huff led the way for the Mountaineers during their conference win over the Bearcats, connecting on six triples en route to logging a team-high 24 points. It's the fifth time this season Huff has totaled 24 points and the sixth time he's drained at least five from downtown.

The senior who joined West Virginia following two productive seasons with Chattanooga has been a major offensive weapon for the Mountaineers, averaging 17.1 points while connecting on 4.0 threes per game at a 41.4-percent clip.
