More Austin Peay Madness From Nashville

(St. Louis, MO) – Austin Peay keeps putting the ‘madness’ in Music City Madness. The eighth seeded Governors have, on consecutive days, dispensed with 5^th seeded Tennessee Tech and 4^th seeded Tennessee State.

Thursday the Governors did the unthinkable. They trailed by 19 points (54-35) with 14:40 left in the game. A John Murry three-pointer gave APSU their first lead of the second half at 69-67 with 24 seconds left. Sophomore Josh Robinson converted on four free throws in the final seconds of the game and Austin Peay won 74-73.

Robinson (St. Mary’s High School) led the Governors (16-17) with 17 points, and all conference forward Chris Horton recorded his 22^nd double-double (15 points & 12 rebounds).

Keron DeShields and Tahjere McCall led the Tigers (20-10) with sixteen points. The Tigers came up one point short as DeShields was fouled on a game tiying three point attempt. He was fouled and made two of the three shots.

Head Coach Dave Loos’ team plays top seeded Belmont on Friday.
