Despite a strong second half comeback effort that forced overtime, App State eventually dropped a tight matchup with Bowling Green 78-76 Monday night.
“Certainly a learning experience for our group in a lot of ways,” Mountaineers head coach Dustin Kerns said. “Good college basketball game and we’ll learn from it and grow.”
App State was in control for most of the first half. Graduate transfer guard Michael Almonacy hit a pullup three at the 3:22 mark to stretch the Mountaineers’ lead out to eight points, but the Falcons answered with back-to-back threes to keep it close.
