Whats up Mountaineers. Been awhile since I have checked in on ya'll. Was reading earlier in the thread about the schedule and thought I would share what our AD has told me. After our initial 2 game H/H series the desire was there to set up another series as quickly as possible. That series was slat...

Tbh I relish App in the "underdog" role. Our death knell historically has been hype, pre season ratings, and primetime TV. Low expectations + over deliver. I'm concerned AF that the school decided to chase NIL/Transfers when I think the move was going counter and investing in socials/communications ...

At first glance this looks great.

- Love starting at home and before Christmas.
- First long roadtrip against what look to be weaker teams in the Sunbelt next season (although with the turnover who knows)
- Three conference games in December is pretty cool.

It'd be nice to make a decent mid-major field, but who knows. Absent that hopefully next year's schedule gets a few more P5s. The ACC reducing their conf schedule by two games will hopefully be really helpful. The P5's have gotten so brutal with their scheduling tactics that I'm not sure we'll land ...

Good news incoming.

Nice…

It’s been great to see (knock on wood) most are staying with the team this season, a nice change over last season!

Looking to bring in at least five , maybe more , based on interest. As of now we have only lost one who we would have given another year but he was looking at a diminished role and decided to move on.

Is Tate still exploring an extra year of eligibility?

Does Jalil Beaubrun have an extra year of eligibility? Tate possibly too with the redshirt?

Obviously would love Abson back in a heartbeat.

Looks like Troy & Arkansas St playing for a bid. As much as it sucks not to see App there both these teams will be good representatives. I feel like the new Sunbelt format worked as intended. It's not as though any of the underdogs won four straight only to lose last night... Now if they can just so...

Rumors he is applying for another year of eligibility? If he stays that’s great news. Man that would be awesome. He had an amazing season, but I feel like the lack of depth with guards was particularly painful down the stretch. As others mentioned if we'd kept Harcum for example this team would've ...

Which players are able to return next year? Does Jalil Beaubrun still have a year of eligibility?

Losing Huntley & Tate is a big blow but hopefully we have less turnover this season.

Great decision by Dodd to drive. Hopefully these FTs fall.

We played Threadgill over Muttilib all year…

This is Muttlibs best game at the best time. Some tough turnovers but good defensive work.

The tournament overall is a missed opportunity. Frankly , the SoCon tournaments had better venues, atmosphere and just the vibe of March Madness. I’ve been coming down here each year out of loyalty to support the team and have reached the conclusion that either the conference staff is inept or just...

All chalk so far. Hopefully ODU knocks off Texas St...

Both well deserved. Tate should've won POY but the dip to close out February was tough.

Losing out to a Troy player... opportunity to get back at them in a few days... Tate has been keyed in this season, but this doesn't hurt lol.

Yah totally agree, if all goes well App plays Texas St/JMU teams they've already beat. Arkansas St being on the other side off the bracket is about as good as you could hope for. I felt like Marshall closed out the season looking as good as they have all season. I wouldn't be surprised to see them t...

A winning path likely looks like....

Texas St
Troy
JMU
South Alabama

Texas St will be tough after wins over JMU & South Alabama past several days...

Same! The one brightside heading into the tournament is App has the best "top-two" of any team in the Sunbelt (KenPom has had Tate at #1 nearly the entire season). It's even more wild that Tate/CJ are Top 10 in scoring given the relatively high efficiency + App's overall offense not scoring a ton. T...

With other results tonight, App State will finish either 5th with a win Friday, or 6th with a loss. Either way, Sun Belt Tournament starts next Friday for the Apps in the 4th round and we'll need to win four games in four days to make the NCAAs. Now whether you believe that can actually happen, is ...
