4 wins in 4: Austin Peay beats UT Martin 83-73 for OVC title | |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Dave Loos gasped when senior Chris Horton went down with a sprained left ankle late in the first half. Turns out the veteran coach needn't have worried. His Austin Peay Governors had come too far to let injury or playing their fourth game in as many days stop them. Freshman Jared Savage scored 24 points, hitting 8 of 14 from 3, as Austin Peay upset No. 2 seed UT Martin 83-73 Saturday night in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship earning an automatic NCAA Tournament berth.
