For 39 minutes, Appalachian State played its ugliest basketball
of the season and trailed Western Carolina University by seven points.
But in a frenzied final minute, ASU caught up to Western to tie
the game but fell just short yet again, giving the team its eighth
straight loss.
With one minute left and Appalachian down, 54-61, Chris McFarland
hit a short baseline jump shot.
McFarland then stole the inbounds pass and hit a long three-pointer
to chip the Catamount lead to two points, 61-59.
The next Western pass went out of bounds and Noah Brown found Derek
Thomas under the basket for a game-tying dunk, capping a seven point
run in 20 seconds.
Western superstar Kevin Martin hit one foul shot the next time down
the court after being fouled by Thomas to give the Catamounts a
one-point lead.
