App State men’s basketball won games on Thursday and Friday evening, beating Greensboro College 87-47 on Thursday and knocking off Columbia International 77-41 on Friday. The 6-2 start to the season is the best start the Mountaineers have had in 30 years, when the 1989-90 squad also started 6-2.
In order to avoid as much cancellation and postponement as possible, the Sun Belt implemented a back-to-back two-game series scheduling system with each opponent in league play this season. For example, App State opens conference play vs Troy Jan. 1 and 2 with games at 6 p.
