Scouting the Mountaineers
Appalachian State comes in at 3-2 overall and winners of three-straight. After beginning the season with back-to-back losses at UAB (80-61) and at Georgia Tech (71-53) the Mountaineers have rattled off wins over UNC-Greensboro (68-65), at Davidson (81-78) and Elon (65-62). All three wins came by a margin of just three points. Against Elon, Appalachian State entered the fourth quarter trailing 55-48 but then outscored the Phoenix 17-7 to get the win. The Mountaineers held Elon to shooting just 30 percent (3-15) from the floor in the fourth and 0-for-4 from three. Appalachian State sports two players averaging double-digit scoring with Tierra Wilson (11.0 ppg) and Pre Stanley (10.5 ppg). Bayley Plummer continues to clean the glass with 8.8 boards per game, but is scoring just 4.6 ppg. Ashley Polacek leads the team with 27 assists. Appalachian State is shooting 37.7 percent from the field while opponents are hitting 42.9 percent. From outside, the Mountaineers are hitting just 25.0 percent from three while the competition has hit 35.1 percent. Appalachian State has outrebounded its opponents 42.4 to 37.0 per game and has committed 13 more turnovers (89-76).
Series History: 42 meetings, Appalachian State leads 23-19
The series between Marshall and Appalachian State dates all the way back to Jan. 24, 1981, and the Herd's days in the Southern Conference. The Mountaineers won the first meeting 61-59. Starting in the 1982-83 season the teams met at least twice a year all the way through 1996-97. The final meeting as Southern Conference foes came in the SoCon tournament on March 1, 1997, a 79-74 Marshall victory. Since the Herd left the SoCon, the teams have met only four more times with Appalachian State taking three games. The last meeting was on Dec. 16, 2017, a 56-54 Mountaineer victory in the Cam Henderson Center.
Marshall returns home for back-to-back games against Evansville on Nov. 29, and Coppin State on Dec. 1. The Herd's next game on the road is at Wisconsin on Dec. 4.
