Clarksville, TN – Still just one win away from clinching the 2026 Atlantic Sun Conference Regular-Season Championship, the Austin Peay State University (APSU) basketball team closes the regular season with a Saturday 1:00pm CT contest against Bellarmine at Knights Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.
Last time out, Austin Peay (21-7, 15-2 ASUN) dropped its lone home game of the 2025-26 season in a 93-88 defeat to Central Arkansas, Wednesday. The Governors were led in scoring by Collin Parker’s 29 points, while Rashaud Marshall paced the team with nine rebounds in the decision.

Marshall also is second on the team with 14.8 points per game this season, and is shooting 65.0% and 69.9% from the field during the season and ASUN play, respectively.
Freshman Zyree Collins is third on APSU and is second among ASUN freshmen with 13.6 points per game this season. His 4.2 assists per game are sixth in the ASUN, lead all league freshmen, and are 16th nationally amongst his class.
Saturday’s meeting between the Austin Peay State University and Bellarmine (11-18, 6-11 ASUN) is the 23rd in program history and the sixth between the two in ASUN play. The Govs earned a 90-70 win against the Knights, February 14th, at F&M Bank Arena, where Parker led the team with 22 points and seven rebounds, and Collins set a freshman record with 14 assists.
