History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2013 Have yourself a day, Collin Parker<\/a>.<\/p>\n Led by the highest-scoring game by a Governor since 2019, Austin Peay State University’s basketball team earned its seventh-straight Atlantic Sun Conference victory in a 95-87 win against Queens, Wednesday, at Curry Arena.<\/p>\n Parker’s 39 points are the most by a Gov since Terry Taylor scored 42 against Morehead State, Feb. 16, 2019, and tied the graduate forward’s career-high, set last season against Bellevue when he played at NAIA Columbia College. It also marked the Montgomery City, Missouri native’s fifth-straight game scoring at least 20 points, as he became the first Gov since, again, Terry Taylor, in 2020.<\/p>\n Parker was followed in scoring by Rashaud Marshall<\/a>, who went 9-for-10 from the floor \u2013 the most efficient night from the field by a Gov this season \u2013 in a 21-point, eight-rebound, three-block, three-assist outing.<\/p>\n After Queens (14-12, 9-4 ASUN) scored the first points of the game on a layup 26 seconds in, Parker’s first three-pointer of the day on the ensuing possession sparked a 12-1 run for Austin Peay (18-6, 12-1 ASUN), who built a double-digit lead just 3:17 into Wednesday’s contest. Following a 2-for-6 start from the field for the Royals, they made five of their next six attempts from the floor \u2013 including 3-of-4 three-pointers \u2013 to cut the APSU lead to 26-21 nearing the midway point of the first half.<\/p>\n Five minutes later, a Ja’Corey Robinson<\/a> three-point play extended the lead to double figures for the first time since the Govs’ blistering start, but back-to-back QUOC threes sparked a 17-5 Royals’ run to end the period and make it a two-point game at the break.<\/p>\n Parker led all scorers with 21 points through the opening 20 minutes of action, as the Govs shot 59.4% from the field and 50.0% from distance, with 24 of their first-half points coming in the painted area.<\/p>\n Queens opened the second half on an 8-0 run to take its first lead since the opening score of the ballgame; however, that was met by a 10-0 scoring streak by the Govs who quickly regained the momentum following a pair of layups by Marshall. Thirteen minutes into the period, the Govs led by as many as 13 points, with Parker heading a three-minute, 7-0 run, but Queens’ Jordan Watford scored seven-straight points and eight of the Royals’ next 14 points, over the next five minutes to make it an 87-84 contest with 98 seconds to play.<\/p>\n Now in the bonus, APSU’s final eight points of the night came from the charity stripe, with it going 8-for-8 from the line down the stretch. Back-to-back perfect trips to the line for Parker and Robinson, was answered by two free points by Tate McCubbin<\/a> to extend the lead to eight.<\/p>\n With 13 seconds to play, Parker went to the line and drained both of his attempts to match his career’s best scoring performance and put a bow on the affair. \u00a0<\/p>\n The Difference<\/p>\n Collin Parker<\/a>. 39 points, nine rebounds, an assist, and a +17 +\/-. He made all the difference in this one from opening tipoff to the final horn.<\/p>\n Box Score Bullets<\/p>\n
