Players to Watch:

G Michael James (MSVS): James is really the only playmaker West Virginia has to be concerned with, with all due respect to the rest of the team. So far this season, he's averaging 20.6 points on 45% shooting from the floor and 36% from three-point range.

C Harlan Obioha (WVU): It's been a struggle for the big man recently, having not scored more than five points in a game since the Backyard Brawl, which is now over a month ago. Yes, it's a tune-up game, but it could help Obioha get back on track.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

This one could get ugly and ugly in a hurry. West Virginia is currently favored by 41.5 points over the Delta Devils. Mississippi Valley State is rated No. 365 out of 365 schools by KenPom, meaning they are officially the worst team in all of Division I college basketball. The over/under is sitting at 137.5.
