Calos Paez had nine points off the bench, going 7-of-7 from the free throw line. Elijah Hutchins-Everett added eight points. Guy Fauntleroy and Cameron Copeland each scored five points. 

Fauntleroy dished out four of his team's eight assists and also had two steals.

The Governors shot 39.1 percent (9-of-23) in the first 20 minutes but trailed 49-21 at intermission.

A Sean Durugordon two-handed finish, one of three Austin Peay dunks on the night, cut his team's deficit to 12-6, but the Wolfpack countered with a 14-0 spurt over the next 5:06 to open up the game.
