by

|

The Appalachian State men’s basketball team doesn’t make it out west very often. The Tuesday night game against Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore., will be the first time the team has trekked this far West since 2000, when it competed in a November tournament in Hawaii. That event was also the only previous time the Mountaineers faced the Beavers, and Oregon State emerged with a 60-37 win. Appalachian State (1-1), which was picked to finish … more

Texas Christian Horned Frogs vs. Texas Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 14th 2023

The Horned Frogs held the visiting Mavericks to 39.3 percent shooting on field-goal attempts overall and just 27 second-half points. TCU (2-0) hosts UT Rio Grande Valley, a 1-1 team coming off a 100-79 loss at South Dakota, on Tuesday night in Fort Worth, Texas. “Most importantly, I was encouraged by what we … more
