Game Preview
The Governors (19-6, 13-1 ASUN) have been remarkable as the current best squad in the conference, only losing once throughout 14 games in league play. They are cruising with eight consecutive wins, recently beating Queens and Bellarmine. Collin Parker has been dominant throughout these latest victories. He averaged 30.5 points, eight rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last week in wins at Queens and against Bellarmine. He is also the reigning Lou Henson Award National Player of the Week and a two-time reigning ASUN Player and Newcomer of the Week.
The Ospreys (6-21, 4-10 ASUN) no longer find themselves in legitimate contention, having one of the worst records in conference play. They have lost their last four games to the likes of Queens, FGCU and Jacksonville. Kamrin Oriol is a bright spot in the offense this season. He has been producing 20.5 points, 4.4 assists and three rebounds on 47.8 percent from the field, including 41.5 percent from three and 90.2 percent from the free-throw line.

Austin Peay vs North Florida Predictions
The Governors have excellent form going into the matchup, even as the visitors. The Ospreys have struggled throughout the course of league play, being second-to-last in the ASUN standings. Keeping up with Austin Peay will require North Florida to start strong, something that is highly unlikely given their overall struggles. Our betting pick here is the Governors to defend an 11.5-point spread.
