ASU/SoCon Tournament notes
Appalachian State injury update: Starting guard Jeremi Booth, who missed the regular-season finale after breaking a bone in his left hand, is questionable for Friday’s first-round game against Georgia Southern and is considered day-to-day for the tournament. Mitch Woods, backup point guard, is probable after missing the last two games with a nagging hip injury.
