On to basketball world domination.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Donte Minter scored 15 of his 25 points in the final 4:37 Saturday night as Appalachian State rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to beat Virginia Commonwealth University 73-70, ending the Rams' seven-game winning streak.
The Mountaineers (11-3) trailed 54-37 with 14:24 to play after the Rams went on a 22-8 burst to begin the second half. But Appalachian State, which shot 59 percent after halftime, finally moved in front on Minter's 3-point play with 2:18 remaining.
Minter, who transferred from Virginia, did most of his damage in close, hitting 9 of 13 from the field and all seven of his free throws in a reserve role. Jeremy Clayton added 13 points and 10 rebounds and Kellen Brand scored 10 for the Mountaineers.
