Players to Watch:

G Johnathan Lawson (LR): Lawson is not only the Trojans' leading scorer, averaging 14.4 points per game, but he's their most complete player. He's tied for third on the team in rebounds (3.8), leads in assists (3.8), and also leads in steals (1.2).

F Treysen Eaglestaff (WVU): Not that this game will tell us much, but Eaglestaff needs a bounce-back performance after being held scoreless in 11 minutes of action against Wake Forest. Defensively, I felt it was his worst game of the season, and that lack of confidence trickled down to the other end of the floor, where he didn't attempt a single shot.
