Game one: App State 69, UALR 63
App State men’s basketball (8-22, 6-13 Sun Belt) found their Sun Belt tournament hopes alive after a upsetting conference leading Little Rock (27-4, 17-3 Sun Belt) 69-63.
Falling behind 8-3 in the first five minutes of the game, it seemed like the Mountaineers were in line for a blowout against the team with the best record in the nation.
It felt like the Mountaineers couldn’t get anything to go in before sophomore guard Jake Babic hit a 3-pointer to bring them within one with 12 minutes to play in the first.
