AUSTIN PEAY (0-0, 0-0) vs OAKLAND CITY (0-0, 0-0)NOVEMBER 5, 2019 ■ DUNN CENTER ■ CLARKSVILLE, TENN.

FASTBREAK• It’s time once again for Governors basketball as

Austin Peay begins the 2019-20 march to March with the regular season home opener against Oakland City.

• The Govs are 9-0 all-time against Oakland City, with an average margin of victory of 34.0 points.

• In two exhibition contests, the Govs averaged 102.5 points.

• Only four rostered players remain from a year ago, with only two--Terry Taylor and Antwuan Butler--seeing significant playing time. Of the other two, Matheus Silveira played just seven games before being shelved and Eli Abaev missed the entire season before returning to represent the USA at the 2019 European Maccabi Games in Budapest.

• Two of the newcomers come to Austin Peay with Division I experience. All-SWAC standout Reginald Gee averaged 13.0 points in 2018-19 as a combo guard for Alabama State, while Evan Hinson was the rarely-seen two-sport standout at South Carolina, seeing plenty of action on the hardwood while Figger was still patrolling the sidelines in garnet and gray.

• What remains is the largest freshman class Austin Peay has boasted since 2011-12, which was a class that included former El Salvadoran pro Chris Freeman and three redshirts. Seven true freshmen on roster is a number unheard of in recent Austin Peay history.

• Longtime head coach Mike Sandifar was not renewed as head coach following the 2019 season; Lee Moore, who went 15-15 in one season at Toccoa, is tasked with replacing him.

NOTING THE GAME

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOWFor the first time in a long time, Oakland City won’t be lining up under the watchful eye of

Dr. Mike Sandifar, the longtime head coach of the program whose contract was not renewed. In his place is first-year head man Lee Moore and his one year of head coaching experience at Toccoa College. The Mighty Oaks also saw both Logan Worthington and Andrew Scott de-part following last season; the duo combined to average more than 42 points per contest to help lead Oakland City to the 2019 Christian College National Invitational Tournament title.

DEEPER MEANINGSWHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN: Would be Austin Peay’s fourth straight win the home opener

and seventh in the last eight seasons... would give Austin Peay back-to-back regular-season opening wins for the first time since 2012-13... would be Austin Peay’s 10th straight win against Oakland City, the Govs second-longest active streak (22 games, Bethel) and one more than Austin Peay’s active streak against SIU Edwardsville... would be Austin Peay’s third straight home win.

WHAT A LOSS WOULD MEAN: Would be Austin Peay’s first-ever loss to Oakland City... would be the Govs first loss to a non-Division I foe since 1986 (Centre College)... would be Austin Peay’s first loss in its home opener since 2015-16 (Purdue Fort Wayne, then doing business as IPFW).

LAST TIME VERSUS OAKLAND CITYSeven Govs reached double figures, led by Terry Taylor’s 21 points, and a suffocating

Austin Peay defense held the Mighty Oaks to 31.5 percent shooting from the floor and just 14 second-half points in a 114-53 romp on Nov. 6 in the Dunn Center. In addition to Taylor, Matheus Silveira needed just 17 minutes for a 10-point, 7-rebound effort against the Mighty Oaks in his Austin Peay debut.

OVC ODDS AND ENDS


TV TIME The Feb. 13 First Financial Bank Battle of

the Border contest against Murray State will once again be carried on the ESPN family of networks, specifically ESPNU, at 8 p.m. The Govs will also be somewhere within the SEC Network framework for the contests against Vanderbilt (Nov. 20), Arkansas (Dec. 3) and Georgia (Dec. 30).

STRONG STARTS Every game Terry Taylor has played in as

a Gov has seen him in the starting lineup; now surprise, as he’s been a two-time All-OVC performer. Chart One will track his ascent up the Austin Peay career starts list, while chart two will monitor his place on the consecutive starts list nationally.

NEW LOOK DUNN The Dunn Center will have a new-look

floor in 2019-20. In a design conceived by the Austin Peay creative team, the contemporary design integrates a com-mingling of red, white, black and gray around the court, with Dave Loos Court and the legendary Austin Peay head coach’s signature prominently displayed facing the student section. Also facing the student-section is an updated, on-brand logo imposed inside a red “state of Tennessee” outline. The lane on each end of the court will be black, with the Ohio Valley Conference logo facing the free-throw line. Austin Peay’s official

Twitter account handle (@LetsGoPeay) will be superimposed just over the out-of-bounds line by each bench, offering maximum visibility during broadcasts.

BOARD MAN GETS PAID Since CollegeBasketballReference.com

began keeping track in 2009-10, 24 OVC players have 200 or more career offensive rebounds.

ABAEV UNLOADS Eli Abaev may not have made his Austin

Peay debut in 2018-19, but he did plenty to kick off the rust at the 2019 European Maccabi Games, where he led Team USA to gold by averaging 17.0 points and 15.3 rebounds per game, culminating in a 23-point, 28-rebound effort against Rus-sia in the gold medal game.

TT2K? Two years ago, Terry Taylor became

just the second freshman in program history to register 500-plus points in his first season (he finished with 530). On Feb. 9, 2019 he bacame just the sixth player in program history to need just two seasons to reach 1,000 career points, joining James Williams, Howard Wright, Kenny Geralds, Lawrence Mitchell and Travis Betran. With his first point at Morehead State, Feb. 16, 2019, he became just the second player in program history to score more than 500 points in each of his first two seasons as a Governor, joining Williams. In 2019-20, he looks to enter rarefied air--no Austin Peay player has ever scored 500 points in each of his first three seasons; only Bubba Wells has ever achieved three 500-point seasons as a Gov, and only eight OVC players have scored 500 points in three separate seasons since 1993.

FIGURING OUT FIGGER 2018 Ohio Valley Conference Coach

of the Year Matt Figger was named a finalist for the 2018 Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award, presented annually by CollegeInsider.com to the nation’s top mid-major coach. Figger was the fourth head coach in Austin Peay history to take OVC Coach of the Year honors, joining George Fisher (1966-67), Lake Kelly (1972-73) and five-time honoree Dave Loos, who was the only other APSU head coach to gain league Coach of the Year in his first season (1990-91). Figger, a Jenkins, Kentucky native, also was the first OVC coach to earn Coach of the Year honors in his first season at the helm since Steve Prohm (Murray State, 2011-12). In his second season, Figger did something no other Austin Peay coach has ever done--secured back-to-back seasons with 10 or more conference victories.

FIGGER AT CvC EVENT In September, Figger was among the

feature speakers at the American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer Tennessee Tip-Off, kicking off the event alongside UT Martin’s Anthony Stewart and ESPN’s Sean Farnham. The trio swapped stories and implored attendees to support the Coaches vs. Cancer mission. The event raised more than $200,000 for the American Cancer Society.

GOVS GOING PRO A trio of former Governors inked their

first professional deals during the off-season. Jabari McGhee is headed to Portugal to play for Barreirense, while Chris Porter-Bunton is off to Romania to suit up for Galati. Before he depart-ed, Porter-Bunton became the second Gov to participate in the 3x3 National Championship in Minneapolis during Fi-

FIGGER YEAR-BY-YEAR

MATT FIGGERPosition: Head Coach • Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1995Experience: Third Season • Career Record: 41-26at Austin Peay: Third Season • Career Record: 41-26

2017-18 Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year Matt Figger built on an outstanding first season in Clarksville and led the Govs to new heignts in his second season.

In his second season, the Govs reached 20 victories for the first time since 2010-11, winning the in-season St. Pete Shootout and again advancing to the OVC Tournament semifinals--the second time in as many years under Figger and third time in four years overall. The Governors success in the OVC made Figger the first Austin Peay coach with double-digit conference wins in his first two seasons and put the Govs over the 10-win plateau in league play in back-to-back years for the first time since 2009-10 and 2010-11. The Govs built a successful season in a hurry, reaching 20 wins in fewer games than any APSU team since 2003-04 and at the earliest date by an Austin Peay squad since 1977.

Under Figger’s tutelage, the Governors made one of the NCAA’s largest defensive turnarounds in 2017-18; Austin Peay went from allowing 83.8 points per game (ppg) the previous season to 71.2 ppg in 2017-18, with the -12.6 drop in points per game the second-largest in the nation behind only Central Michigan (-16.1 ppg). Some of those single-game milestones included holding Alabama A&M to 47 points on Dec. 2—the first time APSU held an opponent below 50 points since Brescia in 2010 and the first Division I foe the Govs held below 50 since 2008 against Samford.

Overall, Figger’s defensive unit held seven opponents below 60 points during the regular season, winning all seven contests; Austin Peay had held just seven opponents below 60 points in the previous four seasons combined.

The Govs under Figger proved to be a pesky defensive unit, winning the turnover margin by double-digits on three occasions and forcing an average of 23.6 turnovers per game from Nov. 16 (Oakland City) to Dec. 6 (Illinois). And when injuries and illness took a toll, Figger proved he could do more with less, winning late-January contests against Eastern Kentucky and Morehead State despite dressing just nine players.

On Thursday, April 6, 2017, Figger was introduced as the 12th head men’s basketball coach in Austin Peay State University history, coming to Austin Peay on the heels of a whirlwind Final Four run as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator under Frank Martin at South Carolina. The Gamecocks were the East Region champion, taking down Marquette, Duke, Baylor and Florida on the way to Phoenix.

After arriving at South Carolina in 2012, Figger assisted Martin in the revival of a program that hadn’t enjoyed a 20-win season since 2008-09, had not advanced to an NCAA Tournament since 2003-04 and had not won an NCAA Tournament game since 1973. After winning 14 games the first two seasons in Columbia, Figger and Co. broke .500 for the first time in 2014-15, finishing 17-16, then won 25 games and reached as high as No. 19 in the Associated Press Top-25 poll last season.

In case you somehow missed it, the Gamecocks became NCAA Tournament darlings in March 2017. After bowing out to Alabama in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, the seventh-seeded Gamecocks thrashed Marquette, 93-73, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, erased a double-digit lead to score a mighty upset of second-seeded Duke to advance to the Sweet 16 and toppled Baylor 70-50 to advance to the East Region championship game against fellow SEC foe Florida.

Trailing at halftime for the third time during the NCAA Tournament, the Gamecocks shut down the Gators three-point assault in the second half and fed SEC Player of the Year Sindarius Thornwell—a find of Figger’s in his capacity as Martin’s recruiting coordinator—for a game-high 26 points and East Regional Most Outstanding Player honors. The Gamecocks were finally knocked out of the tournament by West top seed and top-ranked Gonzaga in the Final Four.

Two players on the Gamecocks Final Four squad got their NBA chance in June 2017--Thornwell, the 48th overall selection in the NBA Draft, with the Los Angeles Clippers via draft night trade with Milwaukee, and PJ Dozier, who inked a free-agent deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Figger served on Martin’s staff dating back to 2007, Martin’s first season at Kansas State. In his decade on Martin’s staff, Figger served in a variety of roles, assuming the associate head coach role in 2013-14 upon Brad Underwood’s departure for Stephen F. Austin.

At Kansas State, Figger was on a staff that secured at least 21 wins and finished fifth or better in the Big 12 each season. In his first season on staff, Kansas State won its first NCAA Tournament game since 1988 after posting a 20-win season—just its fourth since 1990. The 2009-10 team won a school-record 29 games and appeared in the programs first Elite Eight in over two decades, defeating six ranked opponents along the way and finishing the year ranked seventh in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top-25 polls.

At both Kansas State and South Carolina, Figger served as recruiting coordinator. He inked two McDonald’s All-Americans at Kansas State, including Michael Beasley, who would earn National Freshman and Player of the Year in 2008 before becoming a first-round pick in the NBA Draft. Beasley was one of four All-Americans—along with Denis Clemente, Jacob Pullen and Bill Walker—tutored by Figger at Kansas State.

Figger’s first Division I coaching experience came with John Pelphrey at South Alabama, helping lead the Jaguars to a Sun Belt Tournament title in 2006 and a regular-season championship in 2007. After building through recruiting the first three years under Pelphrey, the Jaguars broke through in 2006 with 24 wins, a 14-game improvement that was the biggest turnaround in the NCAA that season. Figger helpd the Jaguars advance to their first NCAA Tournament since 1998, where the bowed out to eventual national champion Florida in the first round.

Figger earned his coaching stripes in the junior college ranks, breaking into coaching at Wabash Valley Community College in 1993-94, helping lead the Warriors to a 29-3 record, before heading to Vincennes (Ind.) College for five seasons, where he coached Clarksville native and future NBA All-Star Shawn Marion for two seasons, as well as future NBA player Tyrone Nesby. The Trailblazers went 132-39 during


Figger’s time on NJCAA Hall of Famer Dan Sparks’ staff, advancing to three NJCAA National Tournaments and capturing four straight Region XII titles (1995-98); the 1998 Vincennes squad went 31-5 and finished fifth at the national tournament.

He capped his junior college coaching career with a three-year stop at Odessa College, helping the Wranglers to a 27-7 mark and NJCAA National appearance in 2001.

In all, Figger advanced to the NJCAA National Tournament four times. He coached five NJCAA All-Americans—Marion, Mitchell Dunn, DeShay Jones, Tarone Barker and Janavor Weatherspoon—and had 35 players sign Division I scholarships.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT COACH FIGGERSouth Carolina Head Coach Frank Martin“Austin Peay just hired a tireless worker who is an unbelievable coach and a more dynamic person. He is a winner, and he will make every young man and the program into ultimate winners.”

Illinois Head Coach Brad Underwood“Matt is one of the top up-and-coming coaches in the game. He has paid his dues and was a big part of the rebuilding efforts at Kansas State and South Carolina. He is a great basketball mind and terrific recruiter and will help bring Austin Peay to the top of the OVC.”

New York Knicks Forward Michael Beasley“Coach Fig is a first-class man and terrific teacher. He helped me develop my mid-range game and made sure we knew the impor-tance of being in excellent condition. I couldn’t be happier for him and know he’ll do great things for Austin Peay.”

Texas Tech Head Coach Chris Beard“Simply stated, Matt is a winner. He’s won at every level and has earned this opportunity. He will bring energy, excitement and work ethic and recruiting knowledge that will be very beneficial to the APSU program. Players gravitate to Matt because he is genuine and invested in their lives on and off the court.”

RECAPPING THE 2019 OVC TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALSEVANSVILLE—The end of the tournament stay is tough.It feels like the end. Sometimes it is. The adage we—

fans, administrators, even coaches in some respects—take for granted is the concept of next year. For some, there is no next year. The culmination of years spent honing this craft, shaping the gift these young men possess in basket-ball hasn’t been easy, and it should be saluted.

Austin Peay had a tough time against Belmont’s Dylan Windler, which ultimately led to the Govs departure from the 2019 OVC Tournament, with the Govs falling 83-67.

The first-half began inauspiciously for both sides; nei-ther shot as efficiently as their season trends would sug-gest, and Austin Peay’s early-game rebounding ability helped the Govs get second and third chances at a time when they needed them desperately.

Twice, Belmont led by five and twice, the Govs erased those deficits. Following a Windler three at the 14:50 mark, Terry Taylor collected an offensive board and laid it up to kick off a 14-6 run that saw the Govs take their first lead of the contest. Belmont re-established its lead with 4:15 to play in the half, but the Govs closed on a 13-5 run to take a 43-40 lead into halftime.

The problem in the second half was Windler. Whatever the Govs did against him, he countered. If he was doubled on the block, he stepped out. If he was marked on the pe-rimeter, he drove. The turning point came early in the half. That’s when Windler keyed a 23-11 run during which time he scored 10 points and hauled in eight rebounds in just over eight minutes of play, turning two-point Austin Peay lead into a 10-point deficit.
