What to Watch For
• App State moved the ball very well in the win over Georgia Southern, assisting on 19 of 29 field goals. Appalachian is 10-4 when recording 10 or more assists. See if App can continue to move the ball against the Panthers.

• The Mountaineers shot 50 percent from trifecta hitting a season-high nine 3-pointers at Georgia State. Appalachian has averaged 7.5 trifectas over the past two games, including eight against Georgia Southern, which was a season best at home. Watch if the Apps can get it going from beyond the arc. 

•  App State is dominating the glass over the past 13 games, outrebounding or tying its opponents on the boards in 12 contests. The Mountaineers are outscoring their foes an average of 14.5-8.5 in second-chance points. Anticipate on App keeping the trend going.

•  App notched nine steals and forced 18 Georgia Southern turnovers into 24 points. When forcing nine or more steals, the Apps have averaged 21.1 points off of turnovers per game. See if the Mountaineers can suffocate GSU into committing turnovers. 

•  The Mountaineers are averaging 6.5 blocks per game over the previous two games, thanks to five blocks from Ashley Bassett-Smith. Watch if App can continue to send shots away from the basket.

Series History

• After Appalachian's 67-63 win in the first matchup, the series is tied at 4-all. 

• Madi Story scored 19 points on the road that helped the Apps come up with the win.

• All four of the Apps' wins are on GSU's home floor, as they have yet to win a game at the Holmes Center against the Panthers.

• The last five games have been decided by 10 points or less while the previous three games have been decided by five or fewer points

• Both teams are 5-7 in the Sun Belt and could play a part in the hunt for a top four seed.
