BOONE, N.C. (AP) -Donte Minter led a balanced effort with 15 points and Appalachian State routed Furman 90-77 on Thursday to clinch a first-round bye in the Southern Conference tournament.
Jeremy Clayton added 14 points and 13 rebounds and Donald Sims and Kellen Brand added 14 points apiece for the Mountaineers (17-10, 12-6), who snapped a two-game losing streak.
George Brozos scored 17 points and Noah States added 16 for the Paladins (6-21, 5-13), who trailed by as many as 31 points.
Appalachian State was never threatened, racing to a 51-26 halftime lead in moving into sole possession of first place in the North Division ahead of idle Chattanooga. The Mountaineers shot 49 percent and hit 11 of 22 3-pointers in beating Furman for the second time this season.
Furman, which had won two of its last three games, was outrebounded 41-31.
