Following a hot first half in their past game against UT Arlington, the Mountaineers could not maintain the same first period success, falling to Texas State 68-55.
App State (6-14, 1-8 Sun Belt) was 0-4 from the 3-point line in the first half. Just two days ago, the Mountaineers knocked down five triples in the first half.
Never relinquishing the lead, Texas State (13-8, 6-3 Sun Belt) used a hot start to set the tone, jumping out to a 13-4 advantage before head coach Jim Fox burned a timeout to stop the bleeding.
“We came out as flat as anything, and I think they had five or six layups in a row and that started it right there,” Fox said.
