Austin Peay State University’s already difficult 2010-11 men’s basketball schedule has become even more challenging.
The Governors will open the 2010-11 season with a road contest at St. Louis, Friday, November 12th.
The Billikens are coming off an impressive 23-13 2009-10 campaign that saw the program’s resurgence under Rick Majerus, considered one of the nation’s most accomplished coaches. A young team a year ago, the Billikens return their top six scorers, including junior guard Kwamain Mitchell (15.9 ppg) plus 6-9 forward Willie Reed (12.4 ppg) and Cody Ellis (10.5 ppg), who stand 6-9 and 6-8, respectively.
The contest, to be played at Chaifetz Arena on the St. Louis University campus, will be a homecoming of sorts for junior forward Anthony Campbell and freshman forward Will Triggs, who both played their high school basketball across the Mississippi River in Edwardsville, Ill.
In addition to adding St. Louis, the Governors road contest at UT Martin, originally slated for Thursday, January 6th, has been moved to January 10th.
