App State Mens Basketball Falls to Coastal Carolina in Close Game, Despite Leading for Most of the Match

The App State mens basketball team suffered a tough loss to Coastal Carolina, despite leading for thirty-one minutes and by as much as thirteen points. The Mountaineers, now 10-8 overall and 3-3 in the Sun Belt Conference, watched the Chanticleers rally late with a key three-pointer from Joshua Beadle to grab the lead they wouldnt surrender.

Coastal Carolina, sitting at 9-9 and 2-4 in conference play, exploded for forty-one points in the second half while shooting sixty-four percent from the field. App State held a six-point halftime edge but couldnt match that output, struggling offensively as Beadle dropped twenty of his points after the break.

The Mountaineers showed strength at the free-throw line, hitting thirteen of seventeen for their best mark of the season at seventy-six point five percent. Standouts like Alonzo Dodd, Kasen Jennings, Jalen Tot, and Michael Marcus Junior went perfect, combining for eleven makes, which kept things competitive down the stretch.

Dodd led App State with twenty-one points, eighteen coming in the second half, while Tot added twelve on three threes in his second straight start. Jennings chipped in eleven, and Marcus Junior nearly notched a double-double with eight points and twelve boards, highlighting the teams grit even in defeat.
