The Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team earned its second win of the season with a 74-54 victory over Air Force on Saturday, Nov. 8, at Clune Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Tate McCubbin continued his strong start to the season, leading the Governors with 19 points, five assists, and four steals. The sophomore guard also scored 14 points in the first half and has led Austin Peay in scoring in back-to-back games. His play on both ends helped set the tone early as APSU built an early double-digit lead and held Air Force to 36.5 percent shooting.
