ASU defeated UNC Wilmington in the 2009 season opener, before taking to the road to down Tulsa last season. • The Apps play five non-conference games in the Holmes Center in addition to hosting East Carolina in Charlotte on Nov. 22. HOME OPENERS • Appalachian has won nine of its 11 home openers in the Holmes Center, including three in a row. • The Mountaineers were 3-0 at home against nonconference competition. SeasonOpponent Result 2000-01 North Carolina L, 69-99 2001-02 East Carolina W, 93-87 2002-03 Mars Hill W, 104-72 2003-04 George Washington W, 80-77 2004-05 Erskine W, 79-49 2005-06 Arkansas-Little Rock W, 75-65 2006-07 North Greenville W, 109-71 2007-08 Davidson L, 71-60 2008-09 Charlotte W, 87-84 (2OT) 2009-10 UNC Wilmington W, 79-68 2010-11 Montreat W, 101-71 SEASON OPENERS • With last season’s thrilling 89-86 win at Tulsa, Appalachian State has won five of its last seven season openers dating back to 2004-05, including the last two. • The Mountaineers downed UNC Wilmington to open the 2009-10 campaign and halt a two-game skid in season opener losses. ASU fell at Charlotte in 2007-08 and at UNC Wilmington the following year. • Prior to that stretch, ASU won three-straight, including victories over Erskine, Arkansas-Little Rock and North Greenville from 2004-06. SCOUTING THE BOBCATS • Lees-McRae head coach Scott Polsgrove returns 11 players from last season’s 6-20 squad. Junior guard Daniel Sepokas is the only returning starter, however, after scoring 13.2 points per game last season. • The Bobcats dropped an exhibition at UNC Asheville earlier this week, 98-67. Sepokas led LMC with 17 points in the contest. • LMC shot 40.7 percent from the field against UNCA, but lost the rebound battle, 51-35, and turned the ball over 23 times. MOUNTAINEER GAME NOTES APPALACHIAN BY THE NUMBERS ... 0 • Appalachian does not face any team for the first time in 2011-12. ASU has faced all of its scheduled opponents at least one time before this season. 8 • Rodney Milum sank 8-of-12 three- pointers in his unofficial ASU debut to lead the Mountaineers past LenoirRhyne, 102-64, on Nov. 11. His 28 points were the most in an exhibition since Donald Sims scored 33 against Mars Hill in 2009. 8.1 • Isaac Butts hauled in 8.1 rebounds per game in 2009-10. His average ranked second in the league on the season, and only one player notched a higher total in 2010-11, while Butts was sidelined (Wofford senior Tim Johnson 8.5 rebounds per game). 16 • Butts enters his senior campaign just 16 rebounds shy of cracking ASU’s career top-10 list. Tim Powers (1988-92) currently holds the place with 637 career boards. 17 • ASU’s 17-of-28 night from downtown in the exhibition would have matched the program record for longballs made had it been a regular-season contest. 23 • ASU posted a 9-3 mark at home last season and set a Holmes Center Record with 14 wins the year before. ASU’s 23 home wins in the last two seasons are the third-most in the SoCon over that period. Only Western Carolina (25) and College of Charleston (24) have more. 32 • Average age of ASU’s coaching staff (Capel - 31, Gainey - 34, Kummer 37, Sampson - 26). Colgate is believed to have the nation’s youngest staff at 29.8 years old. Head coach Matt Langel is the eldest of that group at 33 years old. 40 • Appalachian won 40 games over the last two seasons. 68.2 • In 11 seasons in the Holmes Center, Appalachian has posted a 101-47 record, good for a 68.2 winning percentage. -3- www.GoASU.com 2011-12 APPALACHIAN GAME 1 BASKETBALL vs. LEES-McRAE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE STANDINGS North Division Chattanooga Western Carolina Appalachian State Elon UNCG Samford SoCon Overall WLWL 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 South Division SoCon Overall WLWL College of Charleston 0000 Wofford 0000 Furman 0000 Davidson 0000 The Citadel 0000 Georgia Southern 0000 UPCOMING SCHEDULE (ALL TIMES EASTERN) NOVEMBER 11 (FRIDAY) Lees-McRae at Appalachian State 7 p.m. Holy Cross at College of Charleston 7 p.m. Guilford at Davidson 8 p.m. Roanoke College at Furman 7:30 p.m. Valparaiso at Georgia Southern 7:30 p.m. The Citadel vs. VMI 9 p.m. (All Military Classic at Colorado Springs, Colo.)

He is 16 boards shy of cracking ASU’s top-10 in rebounds as well. • Butts’ return will be felt throughout the Mountaineer lineup, as it both bolsters the team’s depth in the post and also allows classmate Andre Williamson to return to his more natural power forward position. Williamson led the Apps in rebounds, blocks and shooting percentage last season in Butts’ absence. NEW FACES ON THE COURT ... • Appalachian welcomes six new faces onto the court in 2011-12, including junior transfers Rodney Milum and Jamaal Trice, redshirt sophomores Brian Okam and G.J. Vilarino, and freshmen Tab Hamilton and Mike Neal. • Additionally, sophomore Jay Canty joins the Black and Gold for 2011-12 but will redshirt the season after transferring from Xavier. ... AND ON THE BENCH • Assistant coach Kellen Sampson joins the Mountaineer bench this season following one season at Stephen F. Austin. • Despite his young age (26), Sampson has amassed quite the coaching resume following stints at Indiana and Oklahoma. • Sampson joins Justin Gainey and Bobby Kummer in their second seasons on Jason Capel’s staff. WILLIAMSON TOURS CHINA ON SUMMER MISSION • Following a breakout junior season in the post, Andre Williamson made further strides as a player and as a person on a three-week trip to China with Athletes In Action. • The Dayton, Ohio native played with other NCAA Division I student-athletes in eight exhibition contests against the Under-22 national team and several upper-level Chinese teams. • In addition to the competitions, Williamson and the other basketball players completed volunteer and mission work across East Asia. PRESEASON PROGNOSTICATIONS • The Southern Conference coaches voted senior Omar Carter the league’s Preseason Player of the Year. The early honor is well-deserved as the wing is the SoCon’s top returning scorer from last season in addition to 5.8 rebounds per game, 40 assists and 26 steals in his first season with the Apps. • Both the league’s coaches and media picked ASU to finish second in the North Division, behind defending champion Chattanooga.

In the regular season, Milum’s outburst in his unofficial debut would have ranked fourth on ASU’s single-game list. ASU’s 17 treys matched the most in program history, tying the 2005-06 squad’s output against The Citadel. ASU’s season high from downtown in 2010-11 was 11. • Milum’s 28 points were the most in an exhibition since Donald Sims scored 33 against Mars Hill in 2009. Sims was 5-of-6 from beyond the arc in that contest. • ASU’s 63 first-half points matched or exceeded the team’s total output from five complete games in 2010-11. • Andre Williamson sank 7-of-8 shots in the contest to score 17 points to accompany eight rebounds. The senior added two steals and a block in 26 minutes. • Jamaal Trice added 11 points in his unofficial debut, while Nathan Healy notched 10 points with three treys in four attempts. MOUNTAINEERS RETURN TO TWCA • After a 10-year hiatus in the rivalry, Appalachian will host East Carolina in Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena on Nov. 22. • The game is the first in a two-season homeand-home series, with the Mountaineers returning to Greenville, N.C. in November 2012. • The last meeting between the in-state foes was 2001-02, when Appalachian earned a 93-87 home-opening win, though the rivalry dates back to the 1933-34 season. • ASU last played at the home of the Charlotte Bobcats in the 2010 Southern Conference Championship semifinals and final. FOUR STARTERS RETURN • ASU lost its career leading scorer in Donald Sims from last season, but returns four starters from the 2010-11 squad as well as Isaac Butts, who started 35 games as a junior in 2009-10 and all 31 games in 2008-09. • Omar Carter, Petey Hausley, Andre Williamson and Mitch Woods all started at least 17 games last season. • The last time ASU returned four starters was for the 2009-10 season, when the Mountaineers rattled off 24 wins, a North Division Championship and postseason berth.

Holmes Center • 1,621 Isaac Butts scored 10 first-half points and six of the team’s first eight after the intermission as he finished with a career-best 22 in Appalachian State University men’s basketball’s 77-44 win against Lees-McRae. Butts led the squad on the boards with nine rebounds as ASU held a 44-30 edge on the glass. The Mountaineers (2-1) shot a stout 54.4 percent from the field while holding LMC to only 30.5 percent shooting. Appalachian opened a 17-point first-half lead and never looked back in the rout. The squad then showed its depth in the second half as 14 players made appearances and 12 different Mountaineers scored. Donald Sims scored seven points in the contest to go along with three assists and a steal, but did not sink a three-pointer in the game.

NEW-LOOK ON THE COURT • ASU’s home court received a facelift over the offseason with a new paint job. • Fans will notice the incorporation of the ‘Block A’ logo replacing the former Yosef head. • In accordance with NCAA rules changes from last year, a semi-circle has been added underneath the basket to indicate where defenders must be set to draw a charge. • Finally, the old three-point line has been removed as NCAA women’s basketball has moved out to the same arc as the men. GLANCING AHEAD • The Mountaineers take a three-game break away from the Holmes Center, beginning with a road trip to Tennessee. • ASU faces former SoCon rival ETSU in the first game of a home-and-home series on Tuesday in Johnson City. • The Apps then return the 2010 BracketBuster game at Tennessee Tech on Nov. 19. • The swing away from the High Country wraps up on Nov. 22 against East Carolina at Charlotte’s Time Warner Cable Arena. 14 8 44 9 200 Final .305 .200 .500 APPALACHIAN77 Player FG3FG FT R TP A MIN Hunter-F 3-40-1 0-2 3 6 4 Butts-C Sims-G 11-120-0 0-0 9 22 1 16 21 2-50-3 3-3 3 7 3 25 Abraham-G 2-70-3 0-0 2 4 5 21 Brand 3-32-2 2-3 4 10 4 23 Healy 0-10-0 0-0 1 0 0 11 Wright 3-41-1 0-0 1 7 1 20 Booth 2-5 15 Archer 0-00-0 0-0 0 0 0 Lail 0-10-0 2-2 1 2 0 4 Highsmith 1-41-4 0-0 2 3 1 12 Webb 1-20-0 0-0 2 2 0 12 Nirenberg 2-50-0 1-2 7 5 1 7 Williamson 1-4 9 1-4 0-0 0-0 2-6 0 4 5 1 4 4 0 Team5 Totals 31-575-18 10-18 44 FG% 3FG% FT% Half (43) .567 (17-30) .273 (3-11) .857 (6-7) 77 21 CAREER STATS VS.
