The Mountaineers are members of the Sun Belt Conference and they have started off the season 2-0. But those wins are against schools that I've never heard of before. The Mountaineers just didn't beat these schools, but they absolutely dominated! Scoring 126 in an exhibition, and 135 with their opener. They beat Toccoa Falls by a margin of 101 points!
Their main threat is a junior guard by the name of Ronshad Shabazz who has netted 20 points or more the first two games. And the last game he shot over 60% from the field.
Believe it or not, I have good vibes about this game. This is the Mountaineers first actual nuetral/away game. This, coupled with the fact that they haven't faced anyone decent (you can argue if Iowa State is decent at this point) the first two games.
The addition of Hans Brase and Cameron Lard will be huge I believe. Not just with the leadership standpoint that Hans Brase should bring, but the rim protection that Cameron Lard will bring.
I think with this game, the defense will be key. But we will have to make more shots than we did with Milwaukee.
My guess is that we made the adjustments to get off our skid. Albeit, still struggle offensively in a low scoring game.
Iowa State 62
Appalachian State 56
