The two teams atop the Sun Belt standings faced off Saturday evening in front of the third largest crowd in App State history. The Mountaineers completed the season sweep of James Madison with an 82-76 win. “This is not the first time we’ve met the moment this year,” said head coach Dustin Kerns. “Everybody played well, did their job and we played App State basketball.” In the second half, junior forward Tre’Von Spillers showed why he earned Sun Belt Player of the Week last week. He scored 18 of his 21 points in the half, and allowed the Mountaineers to maintain their lead despite a three-minute scoring drought with 15 minutes remaining. “I just stayed composed, kept my head up, and just took my time,” Spillers said. “I know that I have a big role on this team and I just have to keep doing what I do to help us win.” The Mountaineers will start a three-game road trip Thursday in Atlanta as they face Georgia State at 7 p.m. The game will be streamed on ESPN+.
