Three Mountaineers reach double-digits as App State beats Troy 68-59 behind strong second half

After struggling in the loss to South Alabama on Thursday, Justin Forrest helped lead App State past Troy on Saturday with a game-high 24 points.

In a late-season Sun Belt matchup, App State came from behind, outscoring Troy 41-27 in the second half en route to a 68-59 win and season sweep of Troy on Saturday evening.

“As a program we try to take some stairs, I felt like today we took some,” head coach Dustin Kerns said. “I think this is the most Sun Belt wins ever, first time (sweeping) three teams. Certainly felt like we took some stairs today in a hard fought game.
