The Austin Peay Governors are gearing up for the 2023 college basketball season. The team is coming off a 17-13 record in 2022, including a 9-9 record in Ohio Valley Conference play. They made it to the OVC Tournament semifinals, where they lost to Murray State.

The Governors are led by head coach Matt McMahon, who is entering his third season at the helm. McMahon is a rising star in college basketball, and he has turned Austin Peay into a competitive team.

The Governors have a number of talented players returning in 2023, including guards Darian Adams and Troy Russell. Adams is a two-time All-OVC selection who can score points in a variety of ways. Russell is a versatile guard who can shoot the three-ball, drive to the basket, and distribute the ball.

The Governors also have a strong frontcourt returning in 2023. The frontcourt is led by forwards Jared Sherfield and Donte Gaines. Sherfield is a physical rebounder who can also score inside and out. Gaines is a long and athletic forward who can protect the rim and block shots.

The Governors have a tough schedule in 2023. They will face off against some of the best teams in the OVC, including Murray State, Belmont, and Morehead State.
