The Appalachian St. Mountaineers are having a dream season, as they take the floor at 26-5 in the quarter-final round of the Sun Belt Tournament. This is the most wins in program history and the Mountaineers aren't finished. There is no doubt that this team's bread is buttered on the defensive end of the court where opponents have averaged just 38.6% shooting and a woeful 30.6% from deep. While the two regular season games between these teams were both high scoring, I think if Georgia Southern wants any hope at all to keep their season alive they are going to have to slow this game down, limit possessions, and play the kind of defense they have in their last three games where they have held all three opponents to 40% shooting or less. The Eagles have been 20-8 to the UNDER in their last 28 Conference Tournament games, and I am going with the UNDER in this one.
