What to expect
WVU has two games before the next radio show. They play Wake Forest on Saturday in Charleston and Little Rock at home on Tuesday, Dec. 9. Wake Forest is currently ranked 53rd by KenPom, so that would be a quality win for the Mountaineers. WVU is starting to find its rotations and determine its roles. Honor Huff leads the team, scoring 15.8 points per game and averaging 32.6 minutes. The scoring is coming from many players, which is a good thing, as they can contribute.

Chance Moore and Jackson Fields have played only six games combined, but they are playing significant roles. Moore is averaging 11 points per game in 17.8 minutes in four games. Fields has scored nine points per game, playing 13 minutes per game in his two appearances. Jasper Floyd and Brenen Lorient play the most minutes per game behind Huff, and both stuff the stat sheet. Floyd averages 8.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.7 steals per game. Lorient is the second-leading scorer with 11.1 points, six rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.8 blocks.
Ross Hodge has a lot to talk about regarding how Moore and Fields fit into the rotation and what that looks like moving forward. He has many talented players who deserve minutes, but only five can be on the court at once, so decisions are necessary. Hodge should break it all down during his radio show, live from Kegler’s!
