Gritty win for App in round 1 vs Little Rock. Big big test vs 1 seed Texas State Saturday at 9pm.

Vegas has Texas St as 4.5 point favorites

ESPN’s BPI gives us a 54.4% chance to win.

Since their D2 loss to lady lake they’ve only lost 3 games, all to the same team (ULL)

This will be another gritty game, and I like our chances in gritty games. We will once again be relying on Delph Gregory and Forrest to lead us to a victory. Our bench last night only provided 3 points in 39 minutes of action, that will likely need improved tonight and throughout the tournament as guys start to get tired.

By all rights this should be a low scoring game as the top two defensive teams in the league square off. We won't face such a size difference tonight but Texas State can shoot the three much better than LR.

Need to drive and get fouled, the game should be close based on the defenses, let beat them by six or more in free throws and we’ll have a chance.

We’ve got guys that can win one on one when we spread the floor. I like the strategy Saint.

Yes one would expect an ugly knock down drag-out kind of game. #1 scoring D vs #2 scoring D...... This should be a winnable game. Love seeing XB playing such good D. Need Delf to get off early in n first half.... just adds so much to our offense when he does. Big effort tonight boys!

Pre-Covid outbreak, both teams were leading their division. I like our chances. Texas State received a bad draw for their first game.

Need some flow on offense...taking too many quick threes.

Texas State looks bad offensively, if we can just get hot for one run it literally might be enough to beat them

Our offense has struggled so far however

We could set the record for the fastest game in the common era, refs aren’t blowing the whistle and scoring is low. It’s like watching two run heavy teams milking the clock.

6 fouls called in a very physical game after 17 minutes and poor shooting, this one is slipping away.

Glad Forrest pushed the tempo there and got the and 1

We need more of that, cause whatever offense Kerns is trying to run in the half court isn’t working. We’re gonna have to push the tempo and take good looks when we get them

Yes but the missed layups and turnovers have been key. Hopefully that 3 point play helps

Apps hanging tough so far...down 26-20 at the half. Gonna have to find a way to score some points in the 2nd half.
