CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) — A surging Austin Peay squad looks to continue its push atop the ASUN Conference when it hosts a Central Arkansas team seeking to rebound from a tough loss on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026. The Governors (21-6, 12-2 ASUN) enter the matchup at the Winfield Dunn Center riding a nine-game winning streak, their latest a 65-61 road victory at Jacksonville on Saturday. They sit firmly in the conference title conversation. The visiting Bears (18-11, 10-4), meanwhile, saw a seven-game win streak snapped in a 75-71 overtime loss at Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday. They will aim to regroup on the road against one of the league’s hottest teams. Austin Peay’s offense is powered by standout forward Rashaud Marshall, who has scored 20 or more points in four of his last five games. He poured in 26 points against Jacksonville and 27 in a narrow win at North Florida last Thursday. Central Arkansas counters with versatile guard Ty Robinson, who is coming off a 39-minute, 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in the overtime defeat. Robinson has been a consistent contributor during the Bears’ strong February, averaging 12.6 points over his last eight contests. The Governors won the first meeting this season, 78-70, in Conway, Arkansas, on Jan. 10. Marshall led all scorers with 24 points in that game, while Camren Hunter had 20 for Central Arkansas. Austin Peay has been dominant at home this season, boasting a 12-1 record in Clarksville. Central Arkansas has found success on the road, going 8-5 away from home, but faces a steep challenge against a Governors team that has not lost since Jan. 17. The game is a critical late-season conference clash, with Austin Peay aiming to solidify its standing and Central Arkansas looking to improve its seeding for the upcoming ASUN tournament. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST.
