Editor: The following is part of a press release from letsgopeay.com.
(Clarksville, TN) — Matt Figger who spent the last four seasons as head coach of the Austin Peay State University men’s basketball program, has resigned his post to assume the same position at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
During Figger’s tenure, the Govs went 76-51 overall, with three appearances in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament semifinals.
“We thank Matt Figger for his years of service at Austin Peay State University and wish him, his wife Katrina and their son Vince all the best as they embark on this new opportunity in Texas,” said Austin Peay Director of Athletics Gerald Harrison. “Our men’s basketball program is one of the flagship programs at Austin Peay and historically one of the best in the OVC.”
A national search will begin immediately.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
