On a freezing day in Boone, App State men’s basketball continued their red hot streak in conference play Saturday against Little Rock. Entering the day at the top of the Sun Belt, the Black and Gold handled business with its sixth-straight win, defeating the Trojans 72-57 to maintain their top seed.
“It was a hard-fought game, and when you’re sitting in the position we are, you’re going to get everybody’s best shot,” head coach Dustin Kerns said. “I think our team did a great job. We had very balanced scoring so just an overall great team win.”
Just under four minutes into the game, the Mountaineers took the lead at 7-5 and came out with the double-digit victory.
