CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Interstat) — A surging Austin Peay squad looks to continue its climb in the ASUN Conference standings when it visits a Queens (N.C.) team finding its offensive rhythm Wednesday night at Levine Center. The Governors (17-6, 8-2 ASUN) enter on a five-game winning streak, most recently dismantling North Alabama 91-62 on Saturday. Guard Zyree Collins led the way with 26 points in that victory, continuing a run of strong play. Over his last eight games, the dynamic guard is averaging 14.6 points and 3.6 assists, serving as a key catalyst for one of the league’s top offenses. Austin Peay’s success has been built on consistency, having not lost consecutive games all season. Their balanced attack was on full display against North Alabama, where Collin Parker added 27 points and Anton Brookshire dished out seven assists. The Royals (14-11, 6-4), however, present a formidable challenge on their home floor, where they are 9-3 this season. They have won three of their last four, including a 91-72 victory over North Florida on Saturday. Forward Carson Schwieger exploded for a season-high 29 points in that win, showcasing the scoring punch that makes him a focal point. Schwieger has averaged 16.6 points over his last five contests. Queens’ high-tempo offense, which has topped 90 points three times in conference play, will test an Austin Peay defense that has held its last two opponents under 78 points. The Royals’ recent 93-84 win over Jacksonville further highlighted their potent scoring capabilities. This matchup is the only scheduled meeting between the programs this regular season. Austin Peay currently sits near the top of the ASUN, while Queens is jockeying for position in the middle of the conference table. A win for the Governors would solidify their standing, while the Royals aim to secure a resume-building victory against one of the league’s best. The game tips off at 7 p.m. EST Wednesday in Charlotte.
