Appalachian State (12/20/24)

CMJ · December 19

We return to action with a game against a Sunbelt foe (though not one that was in the league during our stay). Hope to start a win streak as the year winds down.

Should be a win, but will be a tough one, and hopefully there's a big enough crowd to get us to the finish line. Some of the "old timers" might have to stand in the student section again... 👀

To be fair, I watched the Duke game a few days ago and their normal student section even had middle aged folks in it. Holidays even affect the Cameron Crazies I guess.

(The older crowd wasn't as spirited, but they still stood and participated in all their normal chants)

App State is 6-5. On the App State fan forum they were lamenting losing to ULL (3-9) by 6 points on Wednesday night before coming to Denton.

It was their first Sun Belt Conference game for both teams. ULL, opened up a 23-5 lead, but App St. closed in the second half. They missed a lot of 3-pointers (4/18) and free throws (18/29).

To rub salt in the wound, ULL fired their coach of 15 years after the win, Bob Marlin....

Great spurt to end the stanza.

Nice close to the half after that lackluster start.

Atin Wright is 3-3 w/o a single bit of action being run for him. there has been zero offensive adjustment to help accommodate a lead scorer clearly can't go get his own the way Perry and Edwards did the last three seasons.

I love that we have a rugged defensive identity, but we've seen the ceiling on this program can grow if we don't bring in assistant who can help coach up an offensive system.
