Fresh off their thrilling 3-point buzzer beating win at ETSU the Mountaineers fell 65-62 in their regular season home opener to College of Charleston (2-3) after coming from behind 22 before missing a game tying 3-pointer to have their comeback attempt ultimately fall short
After App State (3-3) allowed College of Charleston to sprint out to an early 11-1 lead, the Apps never were able to catch up, and missing critical free throws hurt the Mountaineers in the end. Appalachian has now lost its second consecutive home opener, and second consecutive game to the College of Charleston.
App State had chances to pull even when they pulled within one in the fourth quarter, but 18 missed free throws prevented them to ever taking a lead.
