App State men’s basketball faced off against South Alabama in a two-game home series over the weekend that concluded with Senior Day. The Mountaineers entered the matchup coming off a near 20-day hiatus due to positive COVID-19 tests.
“There’s people tracking this across the country, and people that take two weeks off have performed way worse than we have,” head coach Dustin Kerns said. “For us to come out after 14 days without touching a basketball — no-excuse mentality — but there’s a rhythm aspect to it, there’s a condition aspect to it. I thought overall considering back-to-back games (decided by) one possession, those can go either way, I thought (we handled it) pretty well.
