On the brighter side, they managed to secure an average of eight steals per game, showcasing their defensive prowess that could disrupt West Virginia's offensive flow.
On offense, the team averaged nearly 59 points per game last season with contributions across the board: averaging 12 assists and showing potential in ball distribution. Rebounding has been solid with an average of 25 rebounds per game; however, there is always room for improvement in dominating both ends of the court.
