App State fans of all ages came out to the Holmes Convocation Center on Sunday evening for a March Madness selection show watch party to find out the Mountaineers’ seeding and what team they’ll play in their first NCAA Tournament game since 2000.
“It’s crazy,” App State superfan and 2018 graduate Will Strickland said. “This is always the thing you talk about wanting, but realistically, it’s like, I don’t know if we can do it. And then we did. It’s possible.”
The selection show opened by naming 26-0 Gonzaga the No. 1 overall seed out of the West side of the bracket, and App State was the second school announced.
