App State men’s basketball had a tough night shooting against Little Rock on Saturday. It took the Mountaineers nearly four minutes to score their first points, and they finished the game shooting 32.8% from the field.
“We missed some shots that we normally make tonight, so it’s no doubt in our ability,” junior guard Justin Forrest said. “We’ll just get in the gym this weekend and keep getting shots up and come back next game ready to play.”
Despite poor shooting, the effort from the Mountaineers never wavered. With just under 14 minutes to play in the first half, Forrest, who led all scorers with 22 points, made a diving steal, which led to a layup from freshman guard Kendall Lewis.
