It was the first time since 2016 that App State has played in a game where both teams scored at least 100 points while also being App State's first double overtime win since 2021. Five different Mountaineers played over 30 minutes and six players scored at least 10 points in the win. As a team, the Mountaineers shot an incredible 60 percent from the field, including a 19-25 first-half performance.
