ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — (ESPN CLARKSVILLE) If you still want to doubt Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team after it earned its vengeance with an 88-75 win against Campbell, running its winning streak to five games, ask yourself this: What will happen once the Governors are actually fully healthy?

Because after a convincing 13-point win against the Fighting Camels, it’s becoming clear that this team—winners of five straight, four by double figures—has a chance to do some pretty special things when league play opens up to start the 2019 calendar.

Austin Peay (7-4) trailed for all of one possession, less than two minutes into the contest. As the Govs were hitting 11 of their first 15 shots—especially seniors Zach Glotta and Chris Porter-Bunton, who combined for 15 of Austin Peay’s first 17 points—Campbell (5-6) was unable to get off on solid footing.

The Govs paid particular attention to Chris Clemons, the nation’s leading scorer and a player who had poured in 34 points the last time the two teams met. He missed his first four attempts from the floor and although he scored 12 points in the first half, he shot just 5-of-14 from the floor in the process.

Meanwhile, the Govs were controlling the glass (Campbell earned just two offensive rebounds in the first half), harassing the Fighting Camels into miscues (nine first-half turnovers) and generally looking like the dominant team at all times. The result saw the Govs take a 38-23 lead into halftime at the McArthur Center.

The Fighting Camels scored seven unanswered points to open the second half and looked poised to give the Govs a fight over the final 20 minutes. However, Austin Peay answered that rally with an 18-7 run of their own to take the game firmly in hand.

The Governor advantage would reach 20 points with less than seven minutes to go, but a 14-4 Campbell run had the Fighting Camels within 10 with three minutes to go. However, senior Zach Glotta’s dagger three-pointer—the last of his treys on the day—put the Govs back ahead by 13 and Campbell never truly rallied from there.

Rather than one big advantage, Austin Peay was slightly better than Campbell at myriad things on Friday. The Govs outshot the Fighting Camels (50.0 percent to 44.6 percent); they committed fewer turnovers (12 to 17); they out rebounded them (40-34); scored more points in the paint (38-26), second chance (9-4) and from the bench (29-18).
