Montana State at Appalachian State

Appalachian State lost its first game at Michigan as expected, but it covered the spread and then the Mountaineers won their next two, including 68-62 over East Carolina on Tuesday. The Mountaineers have a new coach in Dustin Kerns and they return four starters, including Justin Forrest, who scored 22 points the Pirates while Adrian Delph added 19 points. East Carolina was held to a .356 field goal percentage. Montana State lost to Utah State before beating a Division II squad in Rocky Mountain College. The Bobcats are just 3-10-1 ATS their last 14 games after scoring at least 90 points their last game and defense was their main problem last season. Montana State relies on the three-pointer and the Mountaineers will focus on defending it. Take Appalachian State on the moneyline.
