App State men’s basketball defeated Charlotte 64-55 in a stiff defensive battle in front of another large crowd. The win keeps the Mountaineers perfect at home on the season, with their third victory in the Holmes Center.
“App nation, man. They always come out and support,” said senior guard O’Showen Williams. “This was the most people I’ve seen here in my years here, and I hope it continues.”
Both teams opened the game shooting a combined 4-19 through the opening 6:48. However, App State started to figure things out earlier than the 49ers, allowing them to open up an early 17-7 lead.
