RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University men’s basketball team welcomes perennial OVC contender Austin Peay to McBrayer Arena Monday night. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.

A win over the Governors would move the Colonels (9-5, 2-1 OVC) to 3-1 in league action for the third time in five seasons under head coach Jeff Neubauer. Eastern Kentucky has won 15 consecutive home games which includes an overtime thriller against Austin Peay last January. All five EKU starters posted double-figure points Saturday against Tennessee State, marking a season first for the Colonels. Junior Spencer Perrin equaled a season high with 14 points.

Austin Peay (8-7, 2-1) opened the season with a non-conference slate that included Tennessee, Akron, N.C. State, Ohio, Kentucky and Missouri. Two of the Governors’ three OVC games thus far have gone to overtime. Guards Wes Channels and Anthony Campbell are fifth and sixth in the league in scoring at 15.3 and 15.1 ppg, respectively. Campbell paced APSU with a career-high 24 points Saturday at Morehead State thanks to hitting 5-of-10 three-pointers.

Austin Peay leads the all-time series, 56-46. The Governors have won six of the last eight meetings, but EKU took the most recent contest in overtime on Jan. 27, 2009, 73-70. Sophomore Joshua Jones netted three free throws with 16 seconds remaining in regulation to force the extra session.

Following the Austin Peay contest, EKU hits the road for OVC games at Jacksonville State and Tennessee Tech this coming weekend.
