Austin Peay defeats North Florida 77-76

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Rashaud Marshall had 27 points in Austin Peay’s 77-76 win over North Florida on Thursday.

A wild finish began with 1.9 seconds left on the clock, as Austin Peay forced a turnover and called a timeout, despite having none remaining. After a technical foul was assessed, Kamril Oriol hit one of two tech free-throws.

Anton Brookshire received a heave on the inbound play and sunk the close-range jumper to give Peay the improbable victory.

Marshall also contributed 14 rebounds for the Governors (20-6, 14-1 Atlantic Sun Conference). Collin Parker added 16 points along with seven rebounds and five assists. Zyree Collins finished with 14 points and added seven steals. It was the ninth win in a row for the Governors.
