App State (5-14, 3-5 Sun Belt) fell in heartbreaking fashion in their highest scoring game of the season against rival Georgia Southern (7-11, 3-5 Sun Belt), losing on a last-second four point play 101-100.
“Incredible ending. Incredible ending. Incredible ending,” head coach Jim Fox angrily reiterated.
The Mountaineers and Eagles brought a show to the large crowd at Holmes Center the minute after a tip off with both teams trading threes. Senior guard Frank Eaves hit four 3-pointers within the first five minutes of the game, going 4 for 6.
Georgia Southern took their largest lead of the game with a minute remaining in the first half, pulling ahead 46-35.
