Appalachian State Mountaineers vs. High Point Panthers Prediction

I’m on the Panthers here laying the points. App State just doesn’t have the offense to hang with High Point for a full 40 minutes and I don’t expect that to change here. The Panthers for me are still one of the best mid-majors in all of college hoops, and I think that they show why with a big win and cover here. Give me High Point.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: High Point -11.5
