On Friday and Saturday, App State men’s basketball won back-to-back home games against Georgia State to move to 12-5 and 6-2 in conference, taking sole possession of first place in the Sun Belt overall and the East division.
“Great weekend sweep. (I’m) really, really proud of our team. I thought we were tough today, I thought we were the tougher team, I thought our defense was just outstanding,” head coach Dustin Kerns said.
The wins mark the first time App State has swept the Panthers in a season since joining the Sun Belt in 2014. The Mountaineers’ 12-5 record is also the best start to a season since 2006-07.
