About the Mountaineers

The Mountaineers are fresh off a three-game winning streak, including a massive win over now No. 12 Baylor at home. West Virginia authors a balanced attack with four players averaging 10 or more points per game. As the Big 12 leaders in free throw attempts per game (23.16) and free throws made per game (16.24), the Mountaineers do a great job of getting to the rim. They also rank first in the conference with 11.9 steals per game, led by Jordan Harrison's 3.21 mark.

The More You Mo
Sophomore Mahogany Chandler-Roberts has risen to the occasion in Big 12 play, averaging 8.6 points across UCF's 12 games, producing a consistent stretch over the last 11 with eight double-digit scoring performances. She is one of 30 players to have seven or more double-digit scoring games in Big 12 play this season. Before conference play began, the Portland native had just one career game with 10-plus points to her name, and has since tallied eight to her name along with her first career double-double (12 pts., 10 reb.) at Oklahoma State on Feb. 7.

Mission Accomplished
In the program's fourth annual Space Game, the 'Nauts upset Colorado 74-68 in Orlando, proving everything is better in space. Summer Yancy set a career-high with 25 points, six field goals and a game-leading five three pointers. Mahogany Chandler-Roberts produced her fifth game with 10 more points this season and her fourth in the last six Big 12 contests. The win was also in large part due to a season-best 25 points in the second quarter, outscoring the Buffs 25-10 behind a 20-2 run over a seven minute stretch. - See Page 6 For Space Game History

Summer Time
With the sophomore’s previous career high of 14 left in the dust, Summer Yancy became just the sixth player in the Sytia Messer era (since 2022-23) to score 25 or more points. Yancy is now one of three players in the Big 12 to have 25 or more points, six or more rebounds, and four or more assists in a single game. The Kansas City native is now averaging 7.3 points per game in conference play.

It's Khy Time
Junior Khyala Ngodu led UCF to its first Big 12 win of the season at Arizona with a dominant 22-point, 13-rebound double-double in Tucson, also adding a team-leading five assists and four steals. The performance ranks among the best in the Big 12 this season, as Ngodu is one of four players in the Big 12 this season to secure a 20-point double-double in a conference game (Audi Crooks - Iowa State, Marta Suarez - TCU, Reese Ross - Utah). It joins a similar 21-point, 13-rebound performance against Wake Forest at the Discover Puerto Rico Shootout on Nov. 27. Ngodu is one of just 12 players in the NCAA this season to record 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, 4+ assists and 4+ steals in a single game (1 of 4 in Power 4). The junior followed it up with her second-consecutive double-double vs. Cincinnati and yet another at No. 14 Baylor (three in eight games).
