Troy Trojans vs Appalachian State Mountaineers 2/17/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Troy Trojans will meet with the Appalachian State Mountaineers in a Sun Belt Conference clash in Holmes Convocation Center, NC, on Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 6:30 PM ET.

The Trojans should be riding a five-game winning streak into this match, but they were caught off guard by the Sun Belt’s bottom feeders and fell to Little Rock, 66–62. It’s easy to claim that a team overlooked an easy win, but setbacks like this may have two consequences for the remainder of the season.

The Trojans are 4-point away favorites tonight, which indicates that the linemakers anticipate Troy to struggle once more and App State to rebound from their defeat to Georgia State last time out. I believe both programs considered their recent performances to be failures, but the winner of this game will be able to let it go a bit easier.

The Trojans needed this win to complete a season sweep over the Mountaineers, who they defeated 68–53 on their home court on January 8. Efe Odigie led the team in scoring with 11 points, and Khalyl Waters scored 10 points off the bench in the victory.

Last time out against Little Rock, the reserves outperformed the starting five 39–23 in a 66–62 defeat against the Sun Belt’s poorest club in the bottom half of the rankings.

In retrospect, if Troy won that game, we’d be talking about a 1st-place team instead of the 3rd-place team they are now. It’s like that right now, when every victory is tremendous and every failure is a major setback.

The University of Troy Trojans is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 matches against Appalachian State.
The total went UNDER in 5 of Troy’s last 6 matches on the road.
The total went UNDER in 8 of Troy’s last 11 matches in the Sun Belt Conference.

Troy Trojans vs Appalachian State Mountaineers Predictions 2/17/2022

The Mountaineers may be ahead of the Trojans in the Sun Belt Conference standings, but as I just stated, Troy already handed them their loss and a second defeat at home to blow the season series would kill this team’s spirit for the remainder of the season.

The Mountaineers were on a 10-game winning streak before their game against Georgia State, with only defeats to Texas State and Troy. This club had no business scoring 49 points in a humiliating loss to a team that is just above the Sun Belt basement-dwelling Little Rock program.

The Mountaineers were behind 15 points at one point in the game and only managed to score 16 points before halftime, trailing 28-16. Normally, the superior side would find a way to recover from a 20-minute meltdown and make a game of it, but that was not the case here.

When reviewing the game facts, the box score and how it corresponds to the final score will astound you. We’ll look at the bench points after App State shot 7 of 20 from distance and converted 12 of their 17 free throws into points.

The total went UNDER in 4 of Appalachian State’s last 6 matches.
The total went UNDER in 5 of Appalachian State’s last 5 matches at home.
The University of Appalachian State Mountaineers is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 matches in the Sun Belt Conference.

Troy Trojans vs Appalachian State Mountaineers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Troy Trojans. I don’t want to lose by almost a handful of points to the Mountaineer’s 6-man squad.
