The Appalachian State men’s basketball team finished 9-22 (7-13 Sun Belt) under second year head coach Jim Fox. As of last month, the Mountaineers were one of only 32 teams in the NCAA that have had a group of freshmen accumulate over 1,100 minutes this season.
Led by freshman Ronshad Shabazz, the Mountaineers had several new faces on the court this season. Coach Fox is not letting the record define the season, stating that experience is valuable for the future of the basketball program.
“I have seen a lot of growth and they have gained valuable experience in the close games that we have been in,” Fox said.
