Appalachian State obviously is peaking at the right time as it just made an unbelievable run through the Sun Belt Conference tournament winning four games in four days to clinch a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Three players averaged at least 17 points per game in the tournament, including Michael Almonacy (21.8), Justin Forrest (20.0) and Adrian Delph (17.8) and 6-5 Donovan Gregory pulled down 10 rebounds per game. The Mountaineers had lost six of their last seven regular season games, but have come together at the right time after underachieving a bit throughout the season. Appalachian State is 14-9-1 ATS this season and it has covered the number its past five neutral-site games. Norfolk State won the MEAC tournament defeating Morgan State 71-63 in the championship game on Saturday. The Sun Belt is a stronger conference than the MEAC and the Spartans' only win against a quality non-conference opponent was George Mason. Take Appalachian State.
