Appalachian State at Western Carolina

Appalachian State is now 19-4 in their last 23 games. They went into yet another difficult environment and beat Wichita St. 60-58 in a Bracket Buster game. So App, St. has now handled Charleston, beat Davidson on the road, won their Bracket-buster game, and have their RPI in the low 50s. So what is left? An emotional hangover from traveling to Kansas for a Saturday game, then back on the road to W. Carolina for a Monday night contest. It will be easy for App. St. to suffer a huge emotional letdown, especially after already beating this team this year, and having read about how Davidson pounded them by 33 points. W. Carolina only lost by nine points at App. St., now they are home and this is their big chance to have a season-making win. They are catching App. St. at exactly the right time and this game should be a lot closer than most would think.
