Bad Start for Appalachian State

It was a bad start for Appalachian State, and their only win was against a non-D1 team. In the first game of the season against Miami Ohio, Appalachian State scored only 63 points and they ended up losing by 14 points. In the last game against Wisconsin, Appalachian State scored 56 points while the defense gave up 87 points, and that led to the 31-point defeat. CJ Huntley had a strong game putting up 13 points and six rebounds. The Mountaineers as a team shot 37.5 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from behind the three-point line. In this game, Appalachian State is going to need to get the offense out to a fast start. App State will play against William & Mary, Sam Houston, Colgate, and UNC Wilmington following this game.

Why Appalachian State Will Beat Queens

• Queens University has lost each of its last eight road games against non-conference opponents.
• Appalachian State has won 16 of its last 17 games at George M. Holmes Convocation Center against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Queens University has lost the first half in each of its last four road night games against non-conference opponents.

Slow Start for Queens

Queens won the first two games of the season but since that point, they have lost two straight games. Queens faced off against Utah two games ago and they lost 96-65. In the last game against BYU, it wasn’t a whole lot better as the offense scored only 55 points while the defense gave up 99 points. They were down 51-26 at halftime and couldn’t bounce back. Queens shot 34.5 percent from the field and 36.7 percent from behind the three-point line. No one scored in double digits and that led to the defeat. Jaxon Pollard finished with nine points and two assists in 22 minutes. Queens will take on SC Upstate, East Tennessee State, Winthrop, VMI, and Gardner-Webb after this game.

Queens vs Appalachian State Prediction

I am not sold on the Queens offense and that is going to be the difference here. Queens is going to really struggle to get the offense going here and that won’t be the same for Appalachian State. The Mountaineers are going to hit a few more shots from deep, and that is going to be the difference here, as Appalachian State is going to come out on top here. Back Appalachian State against the spread.
