APSU Governors Basketball loses to Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks in Continental Tire Las Vegas InvitationalAustin Peay Sports Information
The Lumberjacks, who return most of their players from a 32-winn 2013-14 team, shot 63 percent from the floor while limiting the Governors to only 42 percent shooting as APSU fell 83-62 in the upper division title game of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational. “We could never get anything going offensively because their defensive pressure pushed us out so far (starting the offense),” APSU coach Dave Loos said. “They are an excellent defensive team and their pressure affected us—we could not execute, we tried to do much off the dribble. We talked about it before the game, during the game and at halftime.”The disruptive Lumberjacks forced APSU into 17 turnovers, many created by the constant pressure from point guard Trey Pinkney. As result, it led to Loos’ point about attempting to do too much off the dribble. Austin Peay had just nine assists against the Stephen F. Austin — the Govs had 19 assists against Brown, Thursday.
Only Khalil Davis of APSU’s starters picked up two first-half fouls, forcing all to the bench for extended stretches. In addition, back-up point guard Tre’ Ivory had three first-half fouls and back-up post Assane Diop two. APSU finished the first half down by 16, 44-28. “We had some of our more experienced guys on the bench,” APSU coach Dave Loos said. “Certainly it affected us on both ends of the floor. But that certainly is not what got us beat.”
“As bad as we were tonight on the offensive end, we were equally so on the defensive end,” Loos said. “We didn’t communicate, we didn’t help each other, we didn’t play together and we couldn’t keep the ball in front of us.” Jacob Parker led the Lumberjacks with 19 points while Thomas Walkup added 16. Khalil Davis scored a career-high 25 points, going 6-of-11 from the floor, for the Governors. Davis was named to the all-tournament team. “I thought we had a two or three guys who I thought gave great effort,” Loos said. “They may have played that well, but I could not question their effort.” The Govs will have a week off from competition before playing their sixth straight game away from the Dunn Center when they travel to Carbondale, IL, to face Southern Illinois, Saturday, December 6th.
