After a thrilling overtime victory over James Madison University last week, the Appalachian State Mountaineers (5-6) continued the momentum to a 16-0 run over Hampton (2-9) to start the game, and never looked back as they turned that fast start into a 21-point 88-67 victory over the Pirates.
Not only did Appalachian State start the game on the fast run, but within the first six minutes of the game, all five Mountaineer starters hit at least one 3-point shot.
“I thought we were a little too relaxed in warming up so we addressed that. Our leaders took the team and said we have to focus, and because of that job that our leaders did we able to get our shots and get stops,” head coach Jim Fox said.
