OVC Preseason Poll places APSU Men’s Basketball third in OVC WestAPSU Sports Information
![]() Austin Peay Basketball coach Dave Loos speaks at the 2016 OVC Basketball Media Day in Nashville Tennessee. (APSU Sports Information) “I think preseason predictions are really fun and build excitement for basketball season,” said head coach Dave Loos. “In the end, this will be settled on the floor and as we found out last year, anything can happen. Robinson earned a spot on the preseason All-OVC squad, giving the Govs a preseason all-conference selection for the fourth consecutive season. The St. Louis native averaged 16.9 ppg on 40.1 percent from the floor (83.4 percent from the line), hitting 72 total three-pointers for the season.
“I think a number of our players have grown through our experience last year and Josh is one of them,” Loos said. “He’s shooting the ball well. He has to understand that there will be a target on his back and he’s got to meet that challenge. I’m excited for the year coming up for him and a number of our players.” Among the 11 players tabbed as preseason all-conference selections, only Robinson, Antonius Cleveland (Southeast Missouri), Bryce Jones (Murray State) and Cornell Johnston (Eastern Illinois) hail from the West Division. The Governors tallied 88 points and two first-place votes in the poll, behind Murray State (131 points, 21 of 24 first-place votes) and Eastern Illinois (95 points). UT Martin (82) picked up the remaining first place vote, with SIU Edwardsville (54) and Southeast Missouri (42) rounding out the West selections. “We’re excited to get this thing started,” Loos said. “I think we’ll be competitive and hopefully make a run at this thing again.” Austin Peay opens the exhibition schedule November 1st against Thomas More before beginning the regular season 10 days later at Dayton. The Govs regular-season home opener will be November 14th against Oakland City. VideoDave Loos and David Midlick were popular faces at the 2016 OVC Basketball Media Day in Nashville.
