The Appalachian State Mountaineers were voted to win the Sun Belt East in the preseason coaches' poll, claiming 12 of 14 first-place votes. But after an up-and-down start to the season, the Mountaineers are looking to lock in for their conference slate.

They'll open up Sun Belt play against South Alabama (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) with a 2-1 record, and hopes of recapturing their first conference title since 2019.

To get here, App State has traveled a winding road.

After winning at least nine games from 2015 to 2021, 2022 was a roller coaster.
