Rivalries
Appalachian's primary basketball rival is the Davidson Wildcats. The proximity of the two campuses (less than 100 miles apart) as well as the large number of Appalachian alumni in the Charlotte region add to the animosity between the two schools.
The two teams have met on the hardwood 70 times. The Apps have won 32 of the meetings, the Cats have won 38.
