The Appalachian State Mountaineers men’s basketball team (2-3) fell to sixth-ranked Duke Blue Devils (6-1) Saturday afternoon 93-58. This was the first time that App State has faced Duke since 1988 and App’s 45th loss to a North Carolina ACC opponent.
The Good:
Both junior forward Griffin Kinney and sophomore forward Jake Wilson used their height to score early buckets to keep the Mountaineers within striking distance.
App State was able to get Duke junior guard Grayson Allen in foul trouble early, as he had three fouls in the first half.
The Mountaineers shot 40.
