Charlotte outlasts Mountaineers late push

Appalachian State men’s basketball traveled to Dale F. Halton Arena on Monday night to take on the Charlotte 49ers (4-2) in an in-state battle, ultimately edged out by a Charlotte 80-72 victory.

App State (2-4) fell into an early 11-2 hole in the first couple of minutes of the contest and for the remainder of the game seemed to be playing catch up against the up tempo attack of the 49ers (4-2).

“We can’t start the way we did today,” head coach Jim Fox said. “I thought we started really on our heels and we had some bad turnovers at the beginning.
