The ninth-seeded Mountaineers traveled to Pensacola, Florida, March 2 for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament to face the eighth-seeded South Alabama Jaguars.
App State came into the game missing graduate student forward Dibaji Walker, who didn’t travel with the team.
The Mountaineers had a slow start to the game, trailing by nine. Despite this start offensively, sophomore guard Terence Harcum, junior guard Xavion Brown and junior forward CJ Huntley heated up for the Mountaineers. App State took the lead with just under four minutes and never looked back for the rest of the half.
Harcum led the way with 14 points, 12 of which came from beyond the arc.
