The second game of a three game road trip and Appalachian’s third conference game of the season sent the Mountaineers to Birmingham, AL. Samford offers a difficult test due to their Princeton-style offense that concentrates on three pointers and backdoor cuts. Samford had very young team and their season was not off to a great [...]

The first game of a three game road trip sent the Mountaineers to South Beach, but their talents did not follow them. A  modest 15 spread left me thinking all about the Mountaineers and how well they had fared at Minnesota and North Carolina, both games where Appalachian was big underdogs, yet managed to cover. [...]

Oddly, despite many lined games, Campbell was unable to garner a line from the handicappers for the Appalachian game. Campbell had recently fought NC State quite well within the previous week. For the second time in three games and the third time on the season, a pick was not made, however, Appalachian held on for [...]

The media tried to hype this game into much more than it really was. Appalachian head coach Jason Capel was returning to the arena where he played his college basketball. The Mountaineers were spotted 28.5 points to a top ten ranked Tar Heel team. Appalachian stayed very close in the first half and fell behind [...]

Just like the previous game in Johnson City, the line was very late to post, and eventually did not post. Despite homecourt advantage, the Bucs had too much experience and too many mismatchs for Appalachian. Luckily the students were on break and didnt have to witness another beatdown as the Bucs rolled to a 65-48 [...]

Appalachian hit the road to Big 10 country to face their first of three power conference games. Minnesota entered the game with a great record and had won all of their games at home on the season. However, the Minnesota weaknesses fell right into the hands of the Mountaineers strength. Appalachian was spotted 16.5 points, [...]

The Mountaineers travelled to Statesboro the same day that Appalachian football hosted Maine in an FCS playoff game at home. Georgia Southern has been a house of horrors in the past for the Mountaineers. Last season, the Eagles stole a game from the Mountaineers when the Apps were highly favored. The frusturation of losing to [...]

When the Spartans came to town, Appalachian had just defeated a marginal Milligan squad in unimpressive fashion. UNCG had won the previous year on Appalachian’s home court when their record stood at 0-15. The Spartans were being spotted 9.5 points in their SoCon opener. I was not feeling the Mountaineers covering such a large margin, [...]

The East Carolina game was an exciting one for the Mountaineers. This was the program’s first nuetral court game in North Carolina in many years, and the opponent was their eastern rivals from Greenville, NC. Both teams appeared evenly matched and the Mountaineers were given a slight 1.5 advantage in the game. The Mountaineers were [...]

This game was a makeup from the return game from the 2010 Brackbusters game. Appalachian defeated Tennessee Tech at home at the end of the 2009-2010 season and were to return the home game in November of 2010. Appalachian forgot to schedule the officials which pushed the game to November of 2011. Appalachian was getting [...]
