CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) — A surging Austin Peay squad will look to continue its ascent in the ASUN Conference standings when it hosts a struggling Bellarmine team on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at the Winfield Dunn Center. The Governors (18-6, 8-2 ASUN) enter on a five-game winning streak and sit near the top of the league. The Knights (11-14, 5-5), meanwhile, are looking to stabilize after a 76-84 loss at Central Arkansas on Wednesday snapped their three-game win streak. The matchup features two of the conference’s most dynamic guards in a compelling backcourt duel. Austin Peay is powered by the explosive scoring of Collin Parker, who is averaging 31.2 points over his last five games. He poured in a season-high 39 points in Wednesday’s 95-87 win at Queens (N.C.). Bellarmine will counter with Kenyon Goodin, a consistent catalyst who has scored in double figures in seven of his last eight outings. He tallied 18 points and five assists in the midweek loss. Austin Peay has been dominant at home this season, boasting a 10-1 record in Clarksville. Their offense has been particularly potent, surpassing 90 points in three of their last five contests. Beyond Parker, contributors like Rashaud Marshall (21 points, 3 blocks vs. Queens) provide balance. Bellarmine has shown resilience, with three recent overtime games, but has struggled on the road with a 3-9 mark away from home. To challenge the Governors, the Knights will need more scoring support around Goodin. Jack Karasinski (17 points vs. Central Arkansas) and Tyler Doyle (10 points, 8 assists) are key secondary options. The Governors won the first meeting this season, 78-69, in Louisville on Jan. 17, behind a combined 41 points from Dezi Jones and Demarcus Sharp. Parker was held to 8 points in that game, a figure he has repeatedly surpassed in recent weeks. Saturday’s contest is the first of a regular-season series home-and-home finale, with the rematch scheduled for Feb. 28 in Louisville.
