JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Interstat) — A surging Austin Peay looks to continue its push atop the ASUN Conference standings when it visits a struggling Jacksonville team on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. The Governors (19-6, 11-1 ASUN) enter on a seven-game winning streak, their latest a dominant 90-70 victory over Bellarmine last Saturday. They have won 12 of their last 13 contests and sit firmly in the conference title race. The Dolphins (10-18, 5-7), meanwhile, have lost five of their last seven, including a heartbreaking 86-84 defeat at Florida Gulf Coast last Wednesday. Austin Peay is powered by guard Zyree Collins, who is coming off a spectacular 16-point, 14-assist performance against Bellarmine. Over the last seven games, Collins has averaged 14.1 points and 5.6 assists, serving as the catalyst for one of the league’s most efficient offenses. He is supported by backcourt mate Collin Parker, who scored 22 points in the Bellarmine win. Jacksonville will counter with guard Hayden Wood, who scored a team-high 23 points in the narrow loss to FGCU. Wood has been a bright spot, averaging 13.4 points over his last eight games. He will need a strong performance to keep pace with the Governors’ backcourt. The Dolphins won the first meeting this season, 68-71, in Clarksville on Jan. 3, handing Austin Peay its lone conference loss. The Governors narrowly escaped in that contest, and will be seeking both revenge and to protect their league standing. Jacksonville has shown resilience at home, with recent ASUN victories over Lipscomb and Eastern Kentucky in overtime. However, slowing down an Austin Peay team averaging 86.4 points during its win streak presents a formidable challenge. The Governors’ offense, precision ball movement, and conference-best record will test a Dolphins squad fighting to improve its seeding for the upcoming ASUN tournament. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST Saturday.
