Honor Huff - Scores 19, dishes six in win Huff recorded 19 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 79-71 victory over BYU.

Impact Huff led the way with 19 points while matching a season high by dishing out six dimes to help the Mountaineers break a three-game skid and move to 8-8 in conference play. As per usual, it wasn't the most efficient outing for Huff, who willed his way to 19 despite shooting just 5-for-15 (33.3-percent) from the floor and 3-for-10 (30.0-percent) from beyond the arc. However, despite his lack of efficiency, he still manages to produce, having scored at least 12 in five straight, averaging 17.0 points while shooting 36.9-percent from the field and 34.6-percent from deep during that stretch.

Jasper Floyd - Unsung production Floyd supplied 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Saturday's 79-71 win over BYU.

Impact Floyd played a pivotal role in West Virginia's win, tallying 11 points and dishing out three while adding value on the defensive end with two steals, the 17th time this season he's recorded multiple thefts. Floyd is typically a bit of an afterthought on the offensive end, having now reached double figures just four times in conference play, but the unsung point guard will consistently produce a smattering of production across the board. Across the last 12 games, Floyd is shooting a solid 53.7-percent from the floor in 29.0 minutes of action while contributing 7.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals.

Brenen Lorient - Just misses double double Lorient registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 79-71 win over BYU.

Impact Lorient dominated the offensive glass, pulling down seven of his nine boards on that end of the court, just missing out on his second double double as the Mountaineers took down the reeling Cougars. The senior forward also added three assists, two rejections and a steal as he put together one of his best all-around performances of the season. Lorient has now reached double figures in nine straight, averaging 13.6 points to go along with 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals across 30.8 minutes during that string of games.

Treysen Eaglestaff - Drains four from deep Eaglestaff totaled 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 41 minutes during Tuesday's 91-84 OT loss to Oklahoma State.

Impact Eaglestaff drained four triples and a 50.0-percent clip en route to an 18 point performance during Tuesday's OT loss. The senior wing contributed in a variety of ways, adding four boards, two assists, two steals and a block in addition to reaching double figures in the scoring column for the first time in seven games. Eaglestaff had been averaging 7.0 points while connecting on just 29.4-percent of his shot attempts during his previous six contests.

Impact Moore's season-high 10 boards included six on the offensive end and led to his first double double of the season. The 6-foot-6 wing has been a valuable contributor all season off the bench for the Mountaineers and has been especially productive over the past five games, averaging 11.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals across 23.0 minutes during that stretch.
