APSU Men’s Basketball begins Practice FridayAPSU Sports Information
Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team officially kicks off its fall with a 7:00am, Friday, September 30th practice, marking the formal start to the Governors defense of their Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title. “You can’t get a whole lot done in two hours each week,” said head coach Dave Loos, speaking of the limited individual workout sessions that preceded organized team activities. “We’re anxious to get into it full-speed, implement our system and develop better conditioning. We’ve got to find who’s got the stamina to play at this level.”Although the Govs will have to cope with the loss of lineup stalwarts Chris Horton and Khalil Davis to graduation, a plethora of long-range bombers who fueled the Governors tournament run are back for head coach Dave Loos in 2016-17.
Senior John Murry found a niche late last season, averaging 8.8 points over the final five contests, which included 13 against Kansas and a trio of well-timed threes to help the Govs clinch the tournament championship against UT Martin.
Seniors Kenny Jones and Assane Diop and sophomore Chris Porter-Bunton will be back down low; Jones, the versatile forward averaged 7.9 points and 5.3 rebounds in his first season in Clarksville, while Porter-Bunton was an invaluable reserve following his redshirt freshman campaign. Diop, the Senegalese big man who graduated in August, will be relied on as a veteran presence in the paint. Three Questions
