JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – App State men's basketball came out of the trenches with a win after a back-and-forth physical game at Freedom Hall, defeating ETSU 74-70 on Wednesday night.
This was the third time this season that the Mountaineers won after trailing at halftime, and the 21st time under head coach Dustin Kerns (2018-present). It was also App State's first win on the road against the Buccaneers since Feb. 9, 2005, when the teams were SoCon foes.
The Mountaineers were up by one with 24 seconds left when Justin Abson grabbed a crucial offensive rebound, reset the play, and threw a bounce pass to Tyree Boykin who finished inside with a finger-roll that sealed the advantage for App State.
