The Bobcats are off to very successful start (13-3 overall, 2-1 SBC) for the second year in a row. The Apps, not exactly, managing to start with a grim 5-11 overall record and a @#%& 0-3 in SBC play.

This is a different season and surprisingly, Danny Kaspar still has his job. Not many coaches could weather a 1-18 slide to end a season. Kaspar brought in seven new players for this season with his typical group of JuCo and D-I transfers. Other than the newbies, not a lot has changed. Kaspar coaches an ugly and disruptive (hard to watch) brand of basketball and his players usually carry it out as they were coached. The quick Nijal Pearson is back and leads a trio of double-figure scorers with his 17.8 ppg average.
The Apps lead the series between the two programs 5-4 and have won two in a row. Despite being on their home hardwood, a third straight Mountaineer win over the 'Cats will not come easy. Nevertheless, this is a must win for the Apps.
Oh, did I mention that this is a must win for Jim Fox and the Apps?
