Another heart breaking 1-point loss at home on Saturday evening showed the Mountaineers (6-17, 4-8 Sun Belt) they still have some growing to do in tight games. App State gave Louisiana Monroe (11-12, 7-5 Sun Belt) only their second road win of the season falling 91-90.
Scoring was not an issue for the Mountaineers, shooting 57.4 percent from the field and 60 percent from the 3-point line. Freshman forward Bennett Holley tied his career high with 13 points on 4-5 shooting and 3-3 from the three.
“I just found myself open and I had a lot of confidence, and my teammates gave me the ball,” Holley said.
