(St. Louis, MO) – Austin Peay keeps putting the ‘madness’ in Music City Madness. The eighth seeded Governors have, on consecutive days, dispensed with 5th seeded Tennessee Tech and 4th 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 22nd 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.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
