About the Mountaineers

Last Time Out
Appalachian fell to Louisiana 68-58 on Thursday at the Holmes Center. Madi Story scored a game-high 20 points on an efficient 9-for-12 shooting along with eight off the glass. Joi Jones turned in 17 points in large part to a career-high 11 free throws. App clawed back from a 12-point deficit in the second half to one on multiple occasions, but couldn't get over the hump due to timely shots by the Cajuns.

What to Watch for
• Jones had a conference-best 17 points against Louisiana while dishing out five assists and five rebounds. The senior guard is dishing out 4.2 assists while averaging 11 points per game over the previous five games. In addition, Jones has averaged just 1.2 miscues per contest. See if Jones can keep up her efficient play.

• ULM allows the most points per possession in the Sun Belt at 1.041, and has allowed at least 65 points during its six-game slide. Anticipate the Apps on finding their rythmn on offense.

• App State outscored Lousiana in transition, 10-0, on Thursday night. The Apps are 5-4 this season when scoring 10 or more fastbreak points. See if App is able to push the tempo for easy buckets.
