MBB: Fox Year 5 Begins On Tues. 7 PM HCC

Coach Fox begins his fifth season at App State on Tuesday evening. The yield of his first four seasons includes a return to academic excellence for App men's basketball, an experienced roster of 100% Fox recruits that includes average speed and adequate height but has been lacking in field goal and free throw accuracy, end-to-end defense and mental toughness. Then, just for the sake of discussion, throw in a four-year won-lost record of 45-78. This brings to mind the advice of ancient Greek philosophers (well not exactly :lol: )--when you're in a hole over your head, quit digging and send for a tall ladder! Fox has been given a season (or two) to make a significant climb. Que sera sera!

The early season schedule presents both opportunities and problems. The opportunities are for picking up wins over several P5 teams. The problems occur if/when the poor shooting, poor defense and mental mistakes of the past make an ugly reappearance.

Tuesday night's supposed cupcake at Holmes will be D-II Mars Hill. That will be followed by a roady to face Alabama in Tuscaloosa next Sunday evening. On with it!
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

App State will have both winning conference and overall records this year.

I think we get 20+ wins and win both the regular season Sunbelt title as well as the SBC.
