I've been to so many games and it kills me not to be there to celebrate. I like football but basketball is my jam. I will APPsolutely drop $5 in a pool somewhere to pick us to win it all. I look forward to the final bracket to see what chump gets stomped first.

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!

It's going to be so fun the next few days leading up to Sunday, then the actual games.

Think about this: Barring something wild happening the rest of this week, on Selection Sunday neither Duke nor Kentucky will be in the field... but App State will.

Tip of the hat to Coach Kerns!

Holy Cow, What a four game stretch. Just Congrats to Coach Kerns and the entire team. You guys have represented App State so freakin well...... keep it going 1-0 baby.

This just adds a whole other level of excitement for the tourney! This team reminds me so much of that 2000 team. Besides the making the dance part. Slashers, undersized athletic forwards, dynamic ball handler. It’s great to be a MOUNTAINEER! This could be a real program changing moment and the guys should be so proud

I just love sitting in my recliner, watching March Madness, especially the Mountaineers......just like Coastal Carolina.

Got lots of airtime on Scott Van Pelt a bit earlier. Twitter is buzzing as well. This next week should be a lot of fun. With our brand of basketball we can hang around with much more talented teams. I’m not ready to just chalk us up as “happy to be here” yet. Go Apps! Sweet 16 I can feel it!

We have finally made an appearance in bracketology. We're a 16 vs A&T with the winner getting Gonzaga

Perspective. The current Senior Class were newborns the last time we went dancing in March.

What a great team !! .. Great coach !! .. Great staff !! .. It's Great to be a Mountaineer !!

You want perspective? I was 48....

I have 2 brothers- I’m the oldest. Middle brother graduated from UNCG and youngest from NCSU. I seriously doubt that 21 years ago all 3 danced. Middle brother and I texted during the games last night. We both agree that several tournaments were somewhat unfair this year with seeding- Va Tech got a double bye yet cancelled 6 conference games. A few mid majors who won the regular season knocked out in tournaments that in reality didn’t really need to be played especially inside empty gyms. Obviously it worked for App and I’ll take it. We absolutely earned this ticket. Even though we probably get the play-in (so to speak) and with a win a matchup with possibly Gonzaga I don’t care. Really can’t argue after an 11 loss season. I’m ecstatic to be in and the most exciting part might just be on selection Sunday hearing our name and seeing us on brackets. I still remember seeing that ‘79 banner in varsity gym. Really crazy to think that this is just our 3rd trip. Fantastic!

Still can't believe this team. I think we all knew they would be putting a solid roster on the court, but it was hard to imagine us making the tournament with it. Kerns and this team just starting to show the grit that defines App State sports.

Love the online comments about people hoping we get selected to play Michigan....funny

I read a good article about Alabama and their coach/philosophy, and it reminded me a lot of App. Strong defense and live-or-die by the three. It wasn’t apples to apples, but it’s a philosophy that can even the field some. Focus more on speed and the outside rather than feeding it up the middle to the big man.

Sounded a little like App football in the mid-2000s
