This 7 minute defensive stand in the 2nd half is a thing of beauty. Crazy to think we were down 18 at one point in this game.

Crazy game. This team knows how to win ugly. Kerns has the guys believing right now and it's fun to watch the fight. Texas State almost ran us out of our own gym in the first half but those last three minutes of the first half were INCREDIBLE!

There was a thread for a different sunbelt game but not our own before I created it midway through the 2nd half. We ALL need to do better to increase basketball chatter on this board.

This was a great win considering how far we were down. Tx State beat us like a drum down there without two of our starters. They played today without their best player, some would say the best in the Belt.

Now that we are healthy, this team is playing some real confident ball. I would think our SBC brethren would not want to face us in the tourney if we can maintain this kind of effort and performance.

I know some give JF grief for his shot selection on occasion but he has now hit 3 big threes that have won games this season. Pretty clutch.

Gritty win! That first half was damn painful at time but awesome to see them climb out of that hole to win this game. Hopefully Louisiana can steal a game tonight!

Might be able to move into #2 slot with a win at Georgia St on Thursday!

#takethestairs = We play Defense.

18 Down at one point in first half, out defend them in the second half and get the Dub with a Forrest 3 ball.

Good Job Mountaineers!

Next year, the students should have seating on one of the sidelines not the end line.

Kearns deserves a lot of credit in this one. Our switch to a 1-3-1 zone completely flummoxed a well-coached Texas State team. Best home crowd I’ve seen in ... in decades.

I don’t follow App basketball as much as I probably should. But I do read most of the threads regarding basketball. The change of conversation has been nice ever since that Capel guy departed, and glad to hear our basketball program has been making huge strides
