“If you can win against a team that won six of its last eight games, it’s a good win,” Herd men’s basketball head coach Dan D’Antoni said.

The Mountaineer’s leading scorer was freshman Justin Abson with 16 points on 7 of 11 shooting.

App State also had two other players in double figures, sophomore Terrence Harcum with 14 points and junior C.J. Huntley with 12 points.
