West Virginia brings questions into game vs. Oklahoma State

Amid mystery swirling about the status of three of its top players, West Virginia has overcome the injuries and lineup uncertainty to win six straight games.When the Mountaineers (10-2, 1-0 Big 12) host Oklahoma State (8-4, 0-1) on Saturday afternoon in Morgantown, W.Va., all eyes will be on West Virginia’s layup line to see who might be active.Much concern surrounds the availability of Tucker DeVries, who averages 14.9 points per game and is the team’s top 3-point threat.DeVries, who underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason, has missed the last four games. He is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury, according to his father Darian DeVries, who is in his first year as the Mountaineers’ coach.Additionally, Amani Hansberry, who averages 10.6 points and a team-high 6.6 rebounds, missed West Virginia’s stunning 62-61 road upset of then-No. 7 Kansas on Tuesday with an ankle injury.Meanwhile, Jayden Stone, who averaged 20.8 points last year at Detroit Mercy, has yet to play this season. Darian DeVries offered mixed messages about Stone’s status.On his radio show on Thursday night, the coach provided no clues on whether any of the players would be available for the Oklahoma State game.”Day-to-day,” DeVries said. “Like I said earlier, our job is, we’ll try to get the guys back on the floor as soon as possible.”Eduardo Andre, a 6-foot-11 transfer from Fresno, rescued West Virginia over the last two games. He made 13 of 15 shots and totaled 29 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks.
