February 27, 2026

Good morning, App State Fam. Tonight, these guys are lookin’ to lock up a share of the title.

What all do we have stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below.

🏀 Quest To Clinch
⚾️ Blastin’ The Bucs
🥎 Leveling Up
🟡 And much more

🔼 Quest To Clinch. 40 minutes.

That’s all that separates the App State men’s basketball team from a share of the 2026 Sun Belt Regular Season Title as the Mountaineers hit the road to battle Texas State tonight in San Marcos.

With seven games on the docket, App State is one of seven teams vying for a share of the title, sitting tied with South Alabama, Marshall and Troy entering tonight.

Tip time against the Bobcats is set for 8 pm EST.

🔼 Blastin’ Past The Bucs. Facing off against an NCAA Tournament team from a year ago, the App State Baseball team used a power surge to pick up a big time road non-conference win on Wednesday.

Nico Soul, Drew DuPont and Riley Luft all hit HRs as the Mountaineers scored in six of nine innings en route to a 8-5 victory over ETSU.

The back end of the bullpen was especially impressive for the Mountaineers in the win. Max Tramontana recorded his fourth consecutive scoreless outing to open the season, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings and collecting two strikeouts to earn his first win of the year.

Up next? A three-game weekend series against Gardner-Webb beginning tonight.

🔼 Leveling Up. Off to one of the best starts in program history, the App State Softball team levels up the competition this weekend with three top-25 matchups on the docket at the Tennessee Invitational.

The Mountaineers will take on N.C. Central twice, #1 Tennessee twice and battle #23 Penn State at a loaded field in Knoxville.

🔼 Risin’ Up. After a second-place finish at the Babs Steffens Invitational in Florida, the App State women’s golf squad made one of the biggest jumps in the country in the latest national rankings.

Fill in the blank….

A win tonight would give the App State men’s basketball team their ____ regular season conference title in program history.
