APP State 80 Virgina 69

[tarmac]

App State got a 80 to 69 Bball win over Virginia today in the San Juan Shootout. Just wondering what other IAA/FCS schools have any Bball wins this year over BCS schools.

Before you say it I know we are all DI in Bball.

The list would be pages long, it has been a good year so far for the little guy.

I will have to point that out to all my UVA friends up here. ASU's coming to play VCU in a few weeks, hopefully to a similar result.

It's been a while since ASU beat an ACC team - I seem to recall that the Buzz-era Mountaineers beat Clemson when I was a student, something like 1999-ish.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Montana over Minnesota and Boise State this year -- that's all I know off the top of my head.

[HiHiYikas]

Not much to speak of in the SoCon, other than Wofford beating Cincinnati

[PantherRob82]

We beat Iowa and Iowa State this year. Not much of an accomplishment though.

In the Ivy League:

Princeton beat Marshall
Penn beat Navy
Cornell beat Northwestern and Army
Brown beat Providence (Not a 1-A school, but they participate in a 1-A Conference, the Big East)

None of these are anything special

Seeing as Navy and Army are Patriot League schools - and lately not very good ones as that - I'd remove them from this list.

I believe it was 2000. Tyson Patterson, Rufus Leach..Beat them at Littlejon...Faced Michael Redd and Co. in the first round

Yep...I took that trip. Had time to visit Tiger Town Tavern and TD's before weathering a snow storm back up to Boone! Great game, though.

We shot lights out yesterday, half of our 26 FG's were 3's, and we shot 50% from behind the arc. Aren't going to get that errrrvery game.

If ASU can get Minter to play tough inside, it will really open things up for our gunners.

Conisdering that UVa's only prior loss was by 2 to Purdue, and the 'Hoos are the only loss on #9 'Zonas record, it's a very solid win for the Apps.

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky beat Georgia. Lost to Tennessee and Kansas. WKU plays Nebraska in Feb.

[bandl]

Haha...University "We want to be Ivy League" of Virginia sucks at just about everything...I love it! :hurray:

[Appstate29]

if you want great laughs go to www.thesabre.com and read what they wrote about us, and what they are writing now that Utah is blowing them out hahahahaha, of course they say we suck and we're a small school that should never ever be able to compete with them, but hey we beat the **** out of them.

And that UGA win is looking better and better for you guys as the season goes along. The Dawgs looked good in taking out the 'Zags on Saturday.

Took me hours to get home that night. We knew a snow storm was coming in and we raced to get our stories done, so we could get on the road. It was snowing all the way down to Lincolnton and there was a lot of it by the time I got to Lenoir. I think I got home about 4 a.m. and berely made it at that. Had over a foot of snow.

The game was great, however. Rufus Leach was ripping them that night. I think that is the night when we saw just how good he was going to be. It still makes me sad to think what the kid could have gone on to do had his life not been snuffed out so short.

[Appstate29]

Utah just beat up on UVA 92-70 and the meltdown on their board www.thesabre.com is TSC'esque and great!! I don't usually get sadistic pleasure out of others misfortune, but with what they said about MY UNIVERSITY yesterday, this is great stuff.

I knew how good he was going to be when he hit 8 3's against Ok. State in his first ever game!

I think the most impressive thing was when they played ETSU on back-to-back weeks. The first game, he torches them from deep several times...the next game, they try and shut down his outside shot, and he slashes to the basket to the tune of about 22 or so points. He was special...could have played anywhere. His death is still the saddest event of my college career...

[Tech_fan]

Tennessee Tech beat Northwestern at the shoot out yesterday 66-65.

If they suck, what does Just Missed University do? :p :smiley_wi

[bandl]

If they suck, what does Just Missed University do? :p :smiley_wi

Beat University of Delaware in football?? Yeah....that was lame, I got nothing. :p

You do know that I got early acceptance at UVA...xcoffeex It was my 4th choice in the state of VA....my fall back school, if you may. Yuck. :nonono2:

But I don't hold it against you that your wife went to UVA...not everyone from UVA is a douche.

[DinoDex200]

ASU up 37-30 at the Half against UCF...if they win, they get Vandy in the Finals. Lose, and it's Tenn Tech.

[Mountaineer]

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

Another great win for the Apps.

Appy playing for some hardware against Vandy!!

GO APP!!:hurray:

[AppGuy04]

4-0 with Donte

[furpal87]

Okay, Apps see if you can match our win over Vandy, not that we've built on it (1-4 since)!

[FunkyV]

I'd love for App to beat Vandy. If they do that and win the San Juan Shootout it might actually get ASU on the MidMajor poll

[DinoDex200]

Okay, Apps see if you can match our win over Vandy, not that we've built on it (1-4 since)!

If we do, the 'Dores will be in the middle of the pack in the North Division! :)

[mistersykes]

Okay, Apps see if you can match our win over Vandy, not that we've built on it (1-4 since)!

It's also worth mentioning that since their 1-3 start, Vandy is 7-0 (including win a win against georgia tech). So it'll be tough!

[Mountaineer]

:hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: :hurray:

Apps go to 10-3 (3-0) with a win over Vandy, 87-79, in OT.

Winners of the San Juan Shootout and wins over the ACC, C-USA, and the SEC!!

What the ..... We're a freakin BB school nowxlolx

The game thread on the MMB is at 75 and counting. That must be a record for BB.

[SirApp]

What a fantastic hard fought win. I think we now have a lot of the pieces of the puzzle together. We were a team that lived and died by the 3, but Minter got it done today inside with 27 points. This win will hopefully set the tone for the rest of the season.

Congrats Guys!! :thumbsup: :beerchug:

[lizrdgizrd]

Go us! And I thought it was all downhill since Buzz left.

[SirApp]

Oh yea, 3 Mountaineers on the All-Tourney Team, Minter, Thompson, and Cranford.

Minter and Thompson are Co-MVP!!

[ASU Kep]

I believe this is the greatest week of ASU athletics in our history!

I gotta admit I don't go to many of our BBall games, but I think I'll start.

Same Kep.. xlolx xlolx

Next two home games are Jan 13 and Jan 15 against Elon and Western Carolina..think I'm gonna head down and cheer 'em on. :D :nod:

[crunifan]

I think if the Mountaineers want a REAL challenge, they should venture on up to Cedar Falls, Iowa and play UNI in our new McLeod Center.

[goasu984Life]

If you have never been to the Holmes Center, you definitely need to go. It is a beautiful arena. This team is going to be fun to watch. Definitely gonna head to the mountain and watch this team. They are gonna be really good.

[YOsef]

goooooooooooo Mountaineers, what a week for ASU sports.
