Red-Hot Govs Face Dolphins to Conclude River City Stay

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Coming off a thrilling win last time out at North Florida, Austin Peay State University's basketball concludes its stay in the River City with a 6 p.m. (CT), Friday Atlantic Sun Conference game at Swisher Gymnasium in Jacksonville, Florida.

Last time out, Austin Peay (20-6, 14-1 ASUN) beat the buzzer on a full-court pass from freshman Ja'Corey Robinson to Anton Brookshire with 1.9 seconds to play to down the Ospreys 77-76 at UNF Arena. The win was Austin Peay's ninth-straight and 16th in its last 17 outings.

Rashaud Marshall had a career-high 27 points, 14 rebounds, 13 free throws, and 16 free throw attempts in the win, while freshman Zyree Collins' seven steals are tied for the most by any player in the ASUN this season, matching teammate Matt Enright's mark set in the season opener against Byran, Nov. 3.

With a 14-1 ASUN record, Austin Peay currently sits atop the ASUN standings with three games remaining in the regular season. The Governors can clinch a share of the 2026 ASUN Men's Basketball Regular-Season Championship with a win against the Dolphins and a Central Arkansas loss at Florida Gulf Coast.

Saturday's game, and all ASUN Conference contests this season, is streamed live on ESPN+ with Scott Bacon (play-by-play), Patric Young (Analyst) and Alexis Pierce (sideline) on the call. Fans also can tune into the Governors Sports Network on ESPN Clarksville (104.1 FM / 540 AM) to hear Brian Rives call all the action.
